He is Dead, 1910. A clown in a red costume and white painted face sits on his knees in the arena. In front of him lies a dead man, perhaps the circus director as the dead man's tall black hat lies next to him. The clown takes the pulse of the dead man. In the background, the audience is leaving the performance. He is Dead, 1910. Creator: Gosta von Hennigs. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/HERITAGE ART)
