Description
Harlequin, Samson, European School, 20th Century Mixed media on support. Dimensions 62 x 52 cm. Portrait of a young man dressed as a harlequin, depicted in full face with a white cap, a wide theatrical collar, and a black mask that draws attention to the intensity of his gaze. The red ribbon provides a vibrant chromatic counterpoint within a composition built up with broad, visible brushstrokes and a spontaneous execution. The artist dispenses with extraneous details to focus attention on the character’s expression and the psychological power of the portrait. The freely applied paint creates a dynamic and modern surface, where formal synthesis and chromatic freshness predominate. The work, apparently signed by Sanson, belongs to the tradition of contemporary reinterpretations of commedia dell’arte characters, combining an expressionist sensibility with pictorial techniques characteristic of the 20th century. Dimensions: 62 x 52 cm.
