Little green boots: rorschach test (of sorts)

"Looking past" the most evident details is not something that I love doing because it's ooooh so 'alternative', cool & groovy...I simply can't help me.
In the painting above my eyes always go (first thing) to check if the little green boots of the performer (after all, Folies Bergere was about performance, too - drinking helps to enjoy the rest) are still hanging in there.
