Seated Harlequin is a painting by the Spanish artist
Juan Gris, created in 1923. This oil on canvas work measures 73 x 92 cm and is a representation of a woman sitting on a chair with her hands holding a baby, but in this case, the subject is a harlequin, a character from the Italian commedia dell'arte.

Cubism style.
The Cubist Style
Juan Gris was one of the leading figures of the Cubist movement, along with
Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque. The Cubist style is characterized by its use of geometric forms, multiple perspectives, and fragmented images. In the case of the
Seated Harlequin, the painting is composed of a series of overlapping planes and geometric shapes, which create a sense of depth and volume. The
Kunstmuseum Bern in Switzerland has an extensive collection of Cubist paintings, including works by
Juan Gris. The museum's collection includes a wide range of artworks, from the early 20th century to the present day. For more information on the
