Les Saltimbanques (Gustave Doré, 1874)
A painting of a richly dressed woman in a blue, gold-starred cloak and crown cradles a limp young performer in pale costume beside a jester in orange spangled dress. An owl, tambourine, trumpet, poodle and scattered playing cards fill the foreground of this dim interior, giving it a theatrical, circus-like mood.
