"Harlequin and Colombine in a Comedy by Louis de Boissy" is an 18th-century painting by French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), depicting characters from the Italian commedia dell'arte tradition. The painting illustrates Harlequin, a crafty and unpredictable servant, and Colombine, a witty and charming maidservant, in a scene from a comedy by the French playwright Louis de Boissy (1694–1758). Lancret, known for his genre paintings and depictions of the French upper class and theatrical scenes, captures the lively and improvisational spirit of the commedia dell'arte, which was popular in Europe during the 16th to 18th centuries.

In this work, Lancret's portrayal of Harlequin and Colombine is likely to be infused with the vibrant colors and dynamic gestures characteristic of these stock characters. Harlequin is traditionally shown in a patchwork costume of bright diamonds, while Colombine is often depicted in a servant's dress that hints at her cleverness and beauty. The interaction between the two characters in Lancret's painting would reflect the typical comedic and romantic entanglements that were a staple of the genre.

Louis de Boissy, whose work provides the narrative backdrop for Lancret's painting, was a French dramatist known for his light-hearted plays and satirical comedies that often featured the foibles of the aristocracy and the wit of the servant class. His works would have provided ample material for Lancret's depiction of the commedia dell'arte characters, who were beloved by audiences for their humor and the satirical edge they brought to social commentary.

The painting "Harlequin and Colombine in a Comedy by Louis de Boissy" is a testament to the enduring appeal of commedia dell'arte and its influence on European art and theatre. It showcases Lancret's skill in capturing the essence of theatrical performance and the cultural milieu of 18th-century France, where the interplay between the stage and society was a rich source of artistic inspiration.
