Painted 1887 STUDY FOR THE SIDE SHOW"
Oil on panel, 6 3/8 x 10 1/4". Unsigned Collection Emil Bihrle, Zurich
This is the small study which in the end led to The side show. The straight lines dividing the panel are still visible. In one sense, it is already complete for it gives off light like tinsel on a Christmas tree. It fairly s and crackles.
