Several marionettes represent stock characters from the Commedia dell'Arte. Puppets include Carabinier, Habit de rigueur, Danseur espagnol, Arlequin gris, Arlequin bleu, Gendarme americain and Longhi III. One photo shows a display of the marionettes which took place as part of an Exter exhibition at the Sturm Gallery in Berlin in October 1927. Another photo is a portrait of Exter in her garden. Two photos have the photographer's stamp of J. Littkemann of Berlin.
