In the top frame, a drawing of various circus figures is featured in a green field with a deep blue sky in the background. In the middle ground on the right is a large billboard that pictures a green field and blue sky. There is a figure with an easel standing in front of it. A small plane trailing a banner is in the sky on the left. The picture has a plain wooden frame around it.
