Oil painting on canvas with a fantasy/realistic style by noted Mexican painter Carlos Larracilla. The work, titled "Artista de Trapecio" (Trapeze Artist) shows a female figure, with a white face and eerie eyes hanging on to a trapeze that's itself hanging by a thread on the left side. The subject is in front of a light and dark black background and the artist gives the light high importance with the use of chiaroscuro. The piece is signed on the lower right and monogrammed on the left, and dated 2001. The work is in impeccable condition showing no damage or restoration. It was acquired from an avid art collector from Guadalajara Jalisco.
