Scene in a circus 1916

Zygmunt Waliszewski's 1916 watercolor painting, "Scene in a Circus", depicts a lively circus performance. The scene is set against a hazy blue background, hinting at the circus tent's fabric. A female performer, adorned in a pale blue leotard and a voluminous green skirt, takes center stage. Two men in top hats, a clown in a red and green costume, and a small dog add to the dynamic composition. The artist captures the energy and chaos of the circus through loose brushstrokes and a sense of movement. This artwork provides a glimpse into the vibrant world of Polish art during the early 20th century.
