Description

This is the six of diamonds card in a set of playing cards. A clown banging on a drum, a man playing a trumpet, and another musician stand on a balcony and attract attention for a "Grrrand Spegtacle", as spelled on a hand bill attached to the wall below them. A woman holding the hand of a child, a man smoking a pipe and holding an umbrella, and another woman have had their curiosity piqued by the hullabaloo. Six red colored squares are affixed to various diamond-shaped objects in the scene.
