Yasuo Kuniyoshi

Circus Performer Balanced on a Ball
1930

A black and white sketch of a woman standing on a sphere, wearing a tight-fitting bodysuit with a low-cut neckline and short sleeves. Her hair is short and wavy, and she has a contemplative expression. To her left, there's a small sculpture on a pedestal, and behind her, the background is roughly shaded, suggesting an indistinct interior space. The artist's signature and the date 'Dec '30' are inscribed at the bottom right.
