Pierrot verwarmt een struisvogelei 1869

"Pierrot verwarmt een struisvogelei" (1869) by Hippolyte-Louis-Emile Pauquet depicts a comical scene of Pierrot, a stock character in Commedia dell'arte, warming a large ostrich egg. The image evokes a sense of humor and absurdity, as Pierrot's exaggerated features and the incongruous subject matter create a playful contrast. This small-scale artwork (259 mm x 184 mm), created in a realistic style, captures the essence of Pierrot's whimsical and endearing nature, making it a captivating piece for art enthusiasts.
