Merry-go-round
1930

This is an impressionistic painting depicting a group of people on a carousel. The brushwork is loose and the colors are vibrant, with a mix of blues, reds, and yellows. Several figures appear to be riding wooden horses and holding onto poles, while one central figure in a blue dress stands out prominently. The scene conveys a sense of movement and joy associated with a fairground ride.
