Harlekijn en een clown bewegen zich voort zonder hun armen en benen te gebruiken 1728

This anonymous etching from 1728 depicts two figures, a Harlequin and a clown, performing an acrobatic feat. The figures are shown suspended in mid-air, their bodies contorted into impossible positions, seemingly defying gravity. The artist's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of dynamism and motion. This work offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century entertainment and the skill of its performers. It is an example of the popular genre of "commedia dell'arte," which often featured whimsical and acrobatic characters.
