Toy Shop Window
1927

A whimsical, colorful illustration depicting a lively circus scene with a variety of characters, including clowns, acrobats, and spectators. The foreground shows performers such as a clown with a trumpet, a tightrope walker, and a man balancing a woman on his hand. The background is filled with an audience of people with exaggerated facial expressions, some peering through windows labeled "CAFÉ." The image has a vintage feel, indicated by the date "Paris 1927" in the bottom right corner.
