The demon, by CFA Voysey, is described in the studio magazine
of 1893 volume 1 number 1 as a daring harmony in reds & yellow. Like a gaillardia blossom, it is
heightened by the cunning touches of dark green in the background, hardly
noticeable without close inspection. Less eloquently the design may be described as
a harmony in fire and brimstone. It is frequently chosen for home theaters due to the
demon's likeness to the dramatis personae masks of classical theater.
