Pierre Vauthey – Harlequin with Playing Cards

Signed lower right “Vauthey”.

The Silent Jester
Set against a dreamlike backdrop, Vaulthey’s harlequin gazes inward, a quiet figure holding a fan of cards. Rendered in soft hues and fractured planes, the work evokes both theatrical charm and introspective melancholy.
