EDITORS COMMENTS
This Harlequin illustration, dated 1923, showcases a timeless moment from the Commedia dell'Arte tradition, featuring the iconic characters Pierrot, Columbine, Lelio, and Pantaloon, along with the Captain. The Captain, dressed in a smart military uniform complete with a sword and a stern expression, stands on the right. Pierrot, the melancholic clown, is depicted in his traditional white face paint and red lips, holding a bouquet of flowers and gazing longingly at Columbine. Columbine, the beautiful and elusive object of Pierrot's affections, is shown with a demure expression and a delicate pose, while Lelio and Pantaloon, the old and elderly servants, look on with amusement from the background. The moon casts a soft glow over the scene, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere. This exquisite piece of art, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back to the 1920s, a time of artistic innovation and cultural change. The book in the foreground further emphasizes the historical significance of this illustration, making it a must-have for any art or history enthusiast's collection.
