This delightful painting celebrates the world of traveling theater and its costumed performers. It depicts an outdoor theatrical performance—a lively moment of live entertainment. The traveling players have set up a stage and are in the midst of their act. The crowd gathers in front, appearing excited; they raise their arms and participate energetically. The actors are dressed as Harlequins and wear masks. In the foreground, figures are busy at work, and a dog is depicted.
The colors are soft, and the Impressionist style lends a beautiful quality to the scene.
Note: This antique painting has been mounted on a new backing (marouflé) and restored to perfect condition.
