After the Show
1933

Oil painting depicting a lively circus scene with various animals and performers. In the foreground, horses and riders are prominently featured, with a white horse facing the viewer. The middle ground shows elephants and a colorful circus wagon, while the background includes large tents and a building with arched openings. The atmosphere is dark and moody, with a sense of movement and activity throughout the scene.
