Harlekin 1885

"Harlekin," an 1885 anonymous etching, depicts a harlequin figure performing for an audience. The print, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the lively energy of a theatrical performance, showcasing the harlequin's exaggerated pose and the attentive faces of the onlookers. This small-scale work (185 mm x 160 mm) is an example of graphic art that utilizes line and shading to create a compelling visual narrative.
