EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Harlequin and two jesters making music" we are transported back to the world of commedia dell'arte, where laughter and entertainment reign supreme. The anonymous artists Gerardus Josephus Xavery and Pieter Schenk (I) beautifully capture the essence of this timeless art form. The image showcases three vibrant characters - Harlequin, a clown, and a fool - as they come together to create melodious tunes. Dressed in their colorful costumes, each figure exudes an air of mischief and playfulness that is synonymous with their roles. Harlequin's mischievous grin hints at his clever antics, while the jester's exaggerated gestures add an element of theatricality to the scene. As our eyes wander across the composition, we cannot help but notice Harlequin's bare buttocks being playfully struck by one of his companions' hats. This cheeky moment adds a touch of humor to the overall narrative, reminding us that comedy often thrives on unexpected surprises.

Quint Lox has masterfully captured this snapshot from history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and cultural relevance.
