Two pages, one showing a woman in a bonnet, and another showing a circus clown kicking a man

Two prints are shown, one on either side of a page published in the Revue Blanche. On the left is a sketch of a woman in a corseted dress and a tall bonnet. We see her in three quarter profile, facing left. She looks up slightly, smiling and touching her chin with her right hand. Her left hand hangs at her side, clutching a handkerchief. The image on the right shows a clown performing for a seated crowd. Dressed in a polka dot shirt and striped pantaloons, the clown’s expression is angry as he kicks the back side of a man in front of him. The man being kicked has a dark complexion and wears a tailcoat and breeches. From the force of the kick, he is being thrown forward, with his legs splayed and his hands behind his back.
