It is highly expressive and full of momentum; series of vignettes of circus clowns and performers are scattered throughout, with tumbling acrobats and dancing characters in colorful costume. Behind them we see the faint shadows and outlines of the crowded audience who look before them to the stage below. It is a packed tent; a performance worthy of drawing an eager audience to the show with Chagall as its ringmaster. Created in March 1984, this work is hand signed by Marc Chagall (1887 - 1985) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered 40/50 in pencil in the lower left margin. Printed on Arches wove paper.
