EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print showcases a stunning costume design for a female harlequin, created around 1880 by the French School of the 19th century. The coloured engraving captures the essence of this iconic character from commedia dell'arte, an Italian comedy tradition. The intricate patchwork dress worn by the harlequinette is a true testament to creativity and craftsmanship. With its multitude of colors and patterns, it exudes an air of playfulness and theatricality. This ensemble perfectly embodies the spirit of entertainment that harlequins were known for. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the world of traditional theater and performance art. It serves as a reminder of how costumes can elevate storytelling on stage through their visual impact. The female harlequin depicted here represents femininity with her captivating presence. Her role as an entertainer is evident in her dynamic pose and expressive face. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness the charm and allure that these performers brought to audiences during their heyday.
