Aerial view of the Sitifis cirque (Sétif). The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions and traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. The drawing depicts the circus during a performance.
On the ring, auriges circle the spina. On one of the bends, at the triumphal gate, an accident has occurred, with two chariots colliding. Spectators stand on the bleachers. On the façade, you can see the stores, housed in the arcades. People come to buy supplies.
