Harlekin Und Colombine 1886

"Harlekin Und Colombine" (1886) by Edgar Degas depicts a scene of two dancers in costume. The male figure, Harlequin, is wearing a traditional, colorful harlequin costume and holds a sword. The female figure, Columbine, is wearing a blue and white dress with a large skirt. The pastel colors and loose brushstrokes create a sense of movement and atmosphere, characteristic of Degas's style. This painting captures a moment of theatrical performance, demonstrating Degas's fascination with the world of dance and movement.
