Harlequin 

"Harlequin" is a striking example of Juan Gris's Cubist style. Painted sometime during his prolific career, which spanned from 1911 until his death in 1927, the artwork showcases Gris's mastery of geometric abstraction. The figure of the harlequin is depicted using a series of interlocking planes and angular forms, rendered in a limited palette of browns, greens, and reds. This deliberate simplification of form and color emphasizes the artist's interest in exploring the fundamental elements of visual art, a key characteristic of Cubism.
