The main character is a trapeze artist, immersed in a fantastic world of music and circus. Painted in his later years, it shows a great sense of movement and rhythm, while the blue background makes the acrobat in bright red, jump towards the viewer's eyes.
This spectacle of crowds was one of the artist's favorite pictorial themes, who said:
"For me, the circus is a magical show that appears and disappears, like the world."
