Duffy's CircusDuffy's Circus, which toured the rural towns and villages of Ireland until the 1960s, fascinated Jack B. Yeats. Its equestrian acts and performing clowns and jugglers were some of the artist's favorite subjects. This watercolor concentrates on that moment of expectation before the event begins, that last whispered exchange between the bowlered equestrienne and the baggy-trousered clown. |
