Detail of Harlequin by Picasso in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, November 2008
![Detail of Harlequin by Picasso in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, November 2008 Detail of Harlequin by Picasso in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, November 2008](https://cdn.ipernity.com/135/69/79/24986979.18621e6b.640.jpg?r2)

Artist: Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973)
Title: Seated Harlequin
Date: 1901
Medium: Oil on canvas, lined and mounted to a sheet of pressed cork
Dimensions: 32 3/4 x 24 1/8 in. (83.2 x 61.3 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Purchase, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Loeb Gift, 1960
Accession Number: 60.87
Rights and Reproduction: © 2003 Estate of Pablo Picasso/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
Description:
After experimenting with a variety of styles in the year following his arrival in Paris, Picasso developed a style properly his own in autumn 1901. He painted six canvases, all about the same size, with either a single figure or a couple seated at a café table, that together constitute one of the greatest achievements the twenty-year-old artist had yet accomplished. The paintings derive from the 1870s café scenes of Degas and Manet, as reworked by Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Lautrec in the 1880s and 1890s. For this one, Picasso borrowed the flowery wallpaper from the background of Van Gogh's La Berceuse (1889, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1996.435), which he would have seen at the Galerie Vollard.
Picasso revised the painting a great deal before settling on the final arrangement: he first depicted Harlequin without ruffs at the neck or cuffs; a large glass stood on the table where the match striker now appears; Harlequin's bicorne hat originally rested behind his right hand; and the floral wallpaper was more extensive and not hidden by the high banquette.
By 1901 Harlequin was a ubiquitous figure in popular culture. He usually carried a baton, or slapstick, and wore a black mask. However, Picasso gave his Harlequin a white face and ruffs: the attributes of Pierrot, the melancholy, cuckolded clown who inevitably loses his love, Columbine, to the nimble and lusty Harlequin. Many writers have suggested that the pensive mood of this picture and the series to which it belongs were the result of Picasso's brooding on the suicide of his friend Carles Casagemas, who, like Pierrot, was unrequited in love.

Harlequin
Picasso painted this early masterpiece in Paris in autumn 1901, and it announced a new direction in his oeuvre. The picture’s broad, flat planes of color and thickly outlined shapes reveal the influence of Gauguin, whose work Picasso had recently seen at Ambroise Vollard’s gallery. Similarly, the figure’s isolation and the canvas’ bluish palette harbor elements of Picasso’s forthcoming Blue Period. In spring 1902, his canvases would feature social outcasts in haunting images painted in an austere blue palette.
