The Background of the painting is desert steppe. Shapes located in the background of the canvas (a woman with children, the white horse and dog) enliven a dull landscape and create a distinction between the fun of the circus and the bleak steppe. The geometric shapes of a cube and a globe are also called to create a contrast between the immobility and stability of the cube compared to the wobbly ball.
