About the piece

This mid-19th-century watercolor depicts a juggler in a moment of quiet concentration. The figure is rendered with fine detail, from the textures of his striped garments and red cap to the specialized bow apparatus he manipulates. The minimalist landscape and expansive sky create a sense of focused isolation, typical of the observant style found in colonial-era genre studies.
