Arlequin Glouton

François Joullain after Claude Gillot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person wearing a Harlequin costume sitting on a drum. They are holding a pointed object to their chest with one hand and gesturing towards their neck with the other hand. The person's face is obscured by a mask with a prominent nose and round eyes, with a large hat on top. They are wearing a patterned costume with long sleeves and pants, along with close-fitting shoes. The background features a natural landscape with clouds and foliage.
