A sheet from 'Carnivals of St. Petersburg,' a cycle central to Shemyakin's work, belonging to its 'Rats and Gardeners' subcycle. The grotesque, animal-like figures extend the artist's running 'encyclopedia of grimaces,' in which the carnival mask exposes rather than conceals human nature. Lithography was among his principal media in the Paris and American periods.
