Pierot 1836

"Pierrot" is an expressive painting by Cyprián Majerník, created in 1836. The artwork depicts a Pierrot figure, a traditional character in commedia dell'arte, dressed in a red costume with a large white collar and a pointed hat. Majerník's use of bold, simplified lines and bright colors contributes to the overall theatrical quality of the painting. The figure's exaggerated posture and melancholic expression evoke the classic archetype of the clown, both joyful and sorrowful. This piece is a prime example of Majerník's early work, showcasing his talent for capturing human emotion through vivid imagery.
