About the piece

Painted in 1879 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, this masterpiece captures the sisters Francisca and Angelina Wartenberg at the Cirque Fernando in Paris. The work exemplifies High Impressionism with its vibrant palette and flickering light, transforming a moment of rest in the circus ring into a graceful study of youth and color.
