"Harlequin" is a painting by Charles Conder, an influential artist associated with the Heidelberg School, a significant movement in Australian impressionism during the late 19th century. Conder, born in England in 1868 and having moved to Australia at the age of 20, became renowned for his landscape paintings and contributions to the Heidelberg School's ethos, which sought to capture the Australian landscape and light through plein air painting.

The painting "Harlequin," created in the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases Conder's fascination with the theatrical and the bohemian lifestyle, themes that were recurrent in his oeuvre. The work is characterized by its vibrant use of color and fluid brushwork, which convey a sense of movement and festivity associated with the Harlequin character from the commedia dell'arte tradition. This Italian theatrical form, known for its stock characters and improvised performances, was a rich source of inspiration for many artists of the time, including Conder.

In "Harlequin," Conder depicts the eponymous character in a dynamic pose, possibly mid-performance, capturing the essence of the trickster figure's playful and mercurial nature. The painting's composition and color palette may reflect Conder's exposure to and influence by contemporary European art movements such as Post-Impressionism and Symbolism, which were known for their expressive use of color and often explored themes of fantasy and the imagination.

While the exact date of the painting's creation and its current whereabouts may not be well-documented, "Harlequin" remains a testament to Charles Conder's artistic legacy and his role in the development of Australian art at the turn of the century. The painting is an example of how Conder, along with his contemporaries, sought to interpret and represent the unique cultural and social milieu of Australia through a distinctly impressionistic lens, while also engaging with broader artistic trends of the period.
