From Polly of the Circus. Compare this "still" with Banquet of the Officers of St. Andrew (below) and you get at once the distinct impression that the painting depicts a larger crowd than the "still." As a matter of fact, the painter has used only twelve men to produce his effect, while the motion picture director has employed seventeen men, a woman, and a horse. This difference illustrates the practical utility of pictorial design. See page 57.

Banquet of the Officers of St. Andrew, a painting by Frans Hals. See above and page 78.
