DescriptionThis is a framed work consisting of a vitreograph on paper. The colorful image is dominated by bright blue, red, and yellow hues. An angled table is set with an over-sized tea kettle, which draws attention to two figures who appear to be standing on a tightrope held by two flanking figures standing on pedestals. A dog crosses in the foreground and a small house is visible in the distance.
