There is a preparatory study for this work in Michie Sketchbook [temporary number] 54 in RSA Collections. The jugglers were performing in the street in the Beaubourg district of Paris and provided the inspiration for a number of paintings by Michie. A 35mm col slide of this work in the Michie bequest is titled Jugglers at the Beaubourg I to differentiate it from a second version Jugglers at the Beaubourg II which is compositionally different and has a predominantly red background.
