About this work
A young woman dressed as a harlequin sits turned to one side, her head tilted and resting on her hand, elbow propped on the arm of a red chair. She wears a loose white blouse with a red diamond-patterned vest or sash, red trousers, and a matching red jester's cap with pointed folds; a round tambourine-like object rests near her other hand.
Thick, textured strokes built up with a palette knife give the costume's red passages a jewel-like, faceted surface, while the blouse is rendered in creamy impasto highlights. The mottled blue-green background is loosely brushed, letting the warm reds of the figure dominate the composition. The tilted pose and soft, heavy-lidded gaze lend the portrait a wistful, pensive mood.
