Painting of the Month

Degas, 'Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando', 1879.

Degas gives us a dizzying view of this sensational aerial performer at the Parisian circus. His painting of Miss La La, who was often billed as 'The African Princess', is the focus painting for Black History Month events.

Special Feature: Ooh La La!
