"Arlequin en zijn Vrouw" (Harlequin and His Wife) is a game board printed between 1816 and 1849 by Jan Bernardus Ulrich, a Dutch artist. This game board, now located in the Rijksmuseum, features the iconic Harlequin, a stock character in Commedia dell’Arte, holding a horn and pointing towards a woman dressed in a blue gown. The print is in black and white with touches of color, primarily yellow and red, and features a grid with numbers arranged in a grid-like pattern. The game likely involved moving the pieces according to rules listed at the bottom of the print.
