{"product_id":"tableau-arlequin-paul-cezanne","title":"Harlequin – Paul Cézanne","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA full-length figure in a diamond-patterned costume\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore a blue-grey wall, \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Cézanne’s Harlequin\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a single full-length figure, set slightly off centre. The red and black costume alternates large diamonds across the torso and crossed legs. A white headdress brightens the face, while a wooden sword runs diagonally beneath the arm. The artist’s son is the model here. His upright pose, averted gaze and the broad, almost empty background give the character an unexpected gravity, far from the bustle usually associated with theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA vertical figure for a wall with graphic character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a hallway, this slender figure naturally follows a narrow section of wall and catches the eye on arrival. In a living room, the \u003cstrong\u003evermilion red\u003c\/strong\u003e becomes a strong accent against off-white, slate blue or anthracite. Against dark wood, the black costume finds a natural echo, while matte metal reinforces its graphic quality; touches of turquoise soften the whole. A study can also accommodate this reserved figure, particularly where the decoration favours clean lines and few objects. The height of the format strengthens the pose without reducing the character to a decorative pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA solitary Harlequin, distinct from the Mardi Gras pair\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDated 1888–1890, this composition shows neither Pierrot nor a second protagonist. \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Cézanne’s Harlequin\u003c\/strong\u003e can be recognised by its lone figure, crossed legs and the two white diagonals of the sword. Dark outlines lend density to the costume, while face and headdress remain in cool light. In a larger format, the \u003cstrong\u003erhythm of the diamonds\u003c\/strong\u003e gains force; in a more contained size, the silhouette stays perfectly legible. A compelling canvas print for anyone seeking a theatrical, austere and singular portrait rather than an animated carnival scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Virtuoso","offers":[{"title":"31 × 46 cm","offer_id":55040808878409,"sku":"27810273359829398816","price":79.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"41 × 61 cm","offer_id":55040808911177,"sku":"26578520177590639552","price":89.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"51 × 76 cm","offer_id":55040808943945,"sku":"22192293014931755467","price":99.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"61 × 91 cm","offer_id":55040808976713,"sku":"26005350267312536210","price":129.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"81 × 122 cm","offer_id":55040809009481,"sku":"48950690942355160650","price":249.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9651\/9753\/files\/tableau-arlequin-paul-cezanne-mockup-entree-couloir.webp?v=1787341655","url":"https:\/\/art-virtuoso.com\/en\/products\/harlequin-paul-cezanne","provider":"Art Virtuoso","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
