About this work
A man wearing a paper crown and green robe sits at night holding a large brass tuba, a dog sitting beside him. Behind, a woman in a pink wrap stands quietly, a girl in an orange dress holds a red ball near an illuminated carousel, and another woman huddles wrapped in cloth by a striped circus tent under a crescent moon, with the painted inscription about the carnival being over above.
Deep blacks and muted greens are set against warm gold and pink accents, rendered with fine, restrained detail and soft directional light on the faces. The hushed poses and empty fairground evoke a subdued, melancholic after-hours stillness.
