"Harlequin and Columbine" (1716-18) is a notable painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, renowned for his development of the fête galante genre. This work exemplifies Watteau's delicate and refined approach to painting, capturing the essence of theatrical characters from the Italian commedia dell'arte tradition, which was immensely popular in 18th-century France.

The painting portrays Harlequin, a cunning servant and one of the most iconic figures of the commedia dell'arte, alongside Columbine, his clever and equally intriguing counterpart. Watteau's depiction of these characters is imbued with a sense of immediacy and intimacy, as if capturing a fleeting moment in their playful and romantic interactions. The artist's masterful use of color and light, along with his fluid brushwork, contribute to the lively and atmospheric quality of the scene.

Measuring approximately 36 cm by 26 cm, "Harlequin and Columbine" is a relatively small oil on canvas, yet it is rich in detail and character. The painting is a testament to Watteau's fascination with the theater and his ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his art. It is one of several works by Watteau that delve into the world of the commedia dell'arte, reflecting the artist's ongoing exploration of themes such as love, desire, and the ephemeral nature of pleasure.

"Harlequin and Columbine" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the scholarly understanding of Watteau's oeuvre and the cultural milieu of early 18th-century France.
