A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image. A more complete, click-to-enlarge image can be found here.The Juggler (A.K.A Egyptian Juggler or A Juggler) is shown, with a different coloration, framed image (click-to-humongous, unframed image found here), by (I think) its current-location page. It was donated following its purchase (shows price) in 1997.Another coloration, click-to-enlarge image, of the full painting, can be found here.I say full painting because it includes content at the top and bottom, missing from even the more complete image pointed to above. That image says it’s of a 66.1×45 cm oil-on-canvas painting. The full painting is larger (77.8×48.4) and oil-on-panel.Because the colors are so different in the two images, used a different medium, and have different dimensions, I thought at first, they’re of different paintings.But, then I found a full painting (oil-on-panel, larger than 66.1×45cm, 1870) past auction result showing much closer to the strip coloration.The artist may have indeed painted more than one version; but, this has the strip coloration image, with that past auction result’s dimensions, and the same provenance, as far as it goes, as the full painting, along with a description.So, I doubt that he did. If I find out different, I’ll add a P.S. His Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories).Sixth, of the 6 works, by this artist (under different nationalities), that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (6 total).

The audience felt rather cheated when “she” turned round to face them.

And we discontinued this why?

Comments here suggest the juggler is female. I lean toward male, especially after magnifying the linked image.

codedaddy: The costume is definitely male.

He was a generous guy; the type that would give your the shirt of his head.
