Firestarter IIA carefully composed still life shows an open matchbox resting on a dark wooden surface. Inside, rows of neatly arranged wooden matches with red tips fill one side, while the other compartment is empty. Leaning diagonally across the box is a small illustrated card featuring a detailed anatomical skeleton, bordered in gold. The lighting is dramatic and directional, casting deep shadows and highlighting the textures of the wood, paper, and match heads.
