Harlekijn 1925 - 1930

"Harlekijn" is an etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout, created between 1925 and 1930. The print depicts a harlequin, a character from the Commedia dell'arte, in a theatrical setting. The harlequin is walking towards the viewer, his face partially obscured by a large hat. A smaller figure, possibly a clown, can be seen in the background, adding to the theatrical ambiance of the scene. The artwork is a testament to Schelfhout's artistic exploration of the visual representation of theatre and the use of etching as a medium. "Harlekijn" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
