Description

Bring a burst of joy, color, and vintage French charm into your space with this original oil painting by acclaimed French artist Nicola Ortis Poucette (1935–2006). Circus (1971) captures Poucette’s hallmark naïve style — bold, flat shapes, a kaleidoscope of vibrant color, and an irresistibly whimsical narrative. Under a sweeping orange big top, a lion tamer and striking blue lion command the center ring before a sea of playful, multicolored spectators. Poucette’s work is highly collectible, celebrated for its storytelling and folk-inspired aesthetic. Pieces from this period rarely surface, making this a unique opportunity for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
