Strafford ARTWORKS : Anni Praetorius : The Horsemama's Circus

The Horsemama's Circus

Anni Praetorius

Here are all the circus acts – the juggler, fire eater, trick riders, and gymnasts walking on their hands, as well as the horsemama and her daughters – providing entertainment for the watchers in the background and for us on the other side of the picture plane, while the flute-playing observer and her band provide background music.

Thanks for the comment, and giving the painting such good company. I hadn’t seen the Seurat before. A “fun” painting.

Enjoyed this piece Anni! Sent me scurrying to look at this Gaugin
and this Seurat. A kind of family resemblance to each although they’re so different.
