Blond Blonde Columbine Crinoline Harlequin Heroine Ringlets Skirt Wide 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Harlequin illustration, dated 1923, showcases the timeless beauty of Columbine, a beloved character from the world of commedia dell'arte. The illustration captures Columbine in a serene moment, surrounded by the vibrant colors and fragrances of a lush garden. With her pretty blonde ringlets cascading down her shoulders, Columbine wears a wide, crinoline skirt and a delicate, flowing dress adorned with intricate floral patterns. The 1920s fashion is further accentuated by her high-heeled shoes and the dainty gloves that cover her arms. Columbine, often portrayed as a heroine, is known for her grace and beauty, as well as her quick wit and playful nature. In this illustration, she appears lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the pages of the books scattered around her. The books, with their worn covers and dog-eared pages, suggest a love of learning and a deep appreciation for the written word. The garden setting adds to the dreamlike quality of the scene, with its riot of colors and textures. Columbine is surrounded by a variety of flowers, including roses, daisies, and lilies, each one more beautiful than the last. The sun casts dappled shadows on the ground, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when beauty, grace, and the love of literature reigned supreme. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Columbine and the enchantment of the garden, and a testament to the power of art to transport us to another world.
