Here, we see a reimagining of the Commedia dell’arte as a gallant celebration, depicting Pierrot playing the mandolin amongst the chérettes The label might suggest that the painting was exhibited at an exhibition or art fair, reminiscent of Robinot Frères, who handled the packing and transport of works of art for official art fairs, major retrospective exhibitions or auctions in the late 19th or early 20th century
