阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案

　Mr Iban's class went on a special trip to the National Museum of Art in Washington, D.C.． There they saw a famous painting by a Spanish artist named Picasso．The painting shows a circus (马戏) family in France and is called “Family of Saltimbanques”． Saltimbanques is a French word meaning performers．

　In the painting, a grandfather, a father and three children are standing outdoors on a bare (光秃的), brown hill．　　 The mother, wearing a straw hat with flowers, is seated alone in one corner, looking sadly off into space．　　 The tallest boy is wearing circus costumes (戏装) in soft tones (色调) of blue and red．　　 The father and grandfather are dressed like clowns (小丑)．　　 The grandfather wears a red, pointed fool's cap and has a white ruffle (装饰摺边) around his neck．But there are no happy clown faces in sight, and everyone in the family looks very serious．

　“Why aren't the performers smiling the way clowns are supposed to?” Justin asked

　“Does anyone have any ideas about that?” Mr Iban said．

　Lonie waved his hand．　　 “Maybe the circus family is sad because they don't have an audience (观众) to show off for any more．”

　“Or they might feel bad because people didn't clap (鼓掌) when their act was over,” Tom said．

　“I have an idea,” Cassie said, pointing to the grandfather．　　 “See that bundle (包袱) on his back? I guess the clown family has to move on to the next town, and they're sorry to go．”

　“Perhaps Picasso didn't ask them to have a special expression while he was painting them,” Mr Iban suggested．

　“I think,” said Jane, “they just wanted to be themselves without any pretended smiles．”

　“Yes, that must be it,” Justin agreed．“They just need to relax after all that clowning around．”
