Lot Essay

'Mr Seago told me that for the last four or five years he had been going round with his circus friends and living in a caravan' (reported in the Eastern Daily Press article). In the tradition of Munnings and Laura Knight, the travelling circus caught the young painter's eye. As well as capturing life under the Big Top and the colourful circus folk on canvas, Seago also enjoyed painting scenes of the nomad life.
