A study for the architectural background of 'La La at the Cirque Fernando', a preparatory drawing for which is also in the Barber Collections. The Cirque Fernando was built in 1875 in the boulevard Rochechouart, Paris, near the Place Pigalle. Studies for the interior fill several pages of one of the artist's notebooks. The inscription states that 'the rafters are more slanting'. Degas' finished oil painting is in the National Gallery, London.
