1887

Punchinello, Three-quarters to the Right is a 1887 by Henri-Charles Guérard, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a clown-like figure in bright, patchy colors. He’s wearing a tall green hat, a striped collar, and mismatched clothes—red stockings, green sleeves, and a blue vest. One hand holds a stick, the other rests on his hip, and his shoes are scuffed. The background is a plain, light blue-gray, and the edges of the paper are slightly worn. The figure looks like a classic "Punchinello," a type of comic character from old Italian plays. His exaggerated pose and bold colors make him stand out. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
Henri Charles Guérard (26 April 1846, Paris - 24 March 1897, Paris) was a French painter and printmaker, particularly in etching and lithography.
