About the piece

Created in 1919 by Gösta von Hennigs, this oil painting captures the spectacle of a circus performance with masterful, loose brushwork. A woman in a billowing pink dress is the focal point, seated atop a white horse that stands out against a backdrop of flags and a blurred crowd, creating a sense of movement and grand event.
