Gypsies on the occasion of the yearly pilgrimage and festival of the Gypsies in honor of Saint Sara, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1953.
During the annual pilgrimage for Saint Sara in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, 1953, a man becomes a clown before a captivated audience of Romani children. Seated on a bench in the dappled sunlight, he carefully applies white and black makeup around his eyes, using a small mirror as his guide. The children gather close, watching his transformation with rapt attention. This impromptu street scene, framed by a bicycle wheel in the foreground, captures a moment of quiet fascination amid the festival’s activities.
