Frattelini Circus is a 1923 ink by Auguste Brouet, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a lively circus scene, with a group of people gathered around a central figure. The atmosphere is one of excitement and energy, with the figures' dynamic poses and facial expressions conveying a sense of joy and anticipation. In the foreground, a woman sits on the ground, surrounded by a group of people who appear to be watching her. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her legs crossed and her hands resting on her knees. The people around her are all looking at her, their faces filled with interest and curiosity. The painting is done in a style that is reminiscent of the early 20th century, with bold lines and vibrant colors. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the scene is about to spring to life at any moment. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the world of etching.
