In a letter to the compiler (18 January 1974) the artist wrote: ‘At the period in which I made “La Danseuse à la Corde” I was staying at the Hôtel du Quai Voltaire, on the Quai Voltaire opposite the Louvre. At this time I made many drawings of cafe, theatre and circus scenes, and like many artists, I visited the Cirque Medrano to watch the famous Fratellini clowns.’
