This work features elements drawn from both French enter- tainment and the American vaudeville performances Shinn watched—and also wrote, appeared in, and directed—in New York City. Shinn often depicted the dynamic exchanges between spectators and performers, and between audience members themselves. Here, he draws our attention to the performer onstage, whose headpiece is echoed by the flower worn by the spectator below, who has turned away from the performance and toward the viewer.
