Circus Scene with Horses and Performers

This striking woodcut print captures a dynamic circus scene, featuring several horses and human figures in a stylized, expressive manner. The composition is dominated by bold black lines and shapes against a warm yellow background, characteristic of early 20th-century Expressionism. A central horse, depicted with exaggerated movement and spotted markings, commands attention, while a performer in uniform gestures towards it. Other horses and figures are arranged in the background, suggesting a bustling backstage or performance area. The artwork's raw, graphic quality and dramatic contrast evoke a sense of energy and theatricality, typical of circus performances. The limited color palette and strong linework contribute to the piece's powerful visual impact, making it a compelling representation of circus life.
