Harlequin as a Painter is a 1760 ink by Francesco Bartolozzi, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man painting a portrait of a woman. He is dressed in a loose, old-fashioned outfit and is holding a brush in his right hand. The woman is seated and wearing a long dress with her hair styled in an updo. The man's attire and the woman's hairstyle suggest that the scene is set in the past. The man's focus on his painting and the woman's calm demeanor create a sense of serenity in the image. To learn more about this style of art, explore the Romanticism movement.
Francesco Bartolozzi (21 September 1727 – 7 March 1815) was an Italian engraver, whose most productive period was spent in London. He is noted for popularizing the "crayon" method of engraving.
