All the people have pale or peachy skin except for one person, who may have a brown mask. The man in the center, representing the character Pierrot, stands facing us with his hands by his sides. He has slightly bulging eyes, a bulbous nose, ruddy cheeks, and his full pink lips slightly smile. He wears a straw hat pushed back on his high forehead and a narrow ruffled collar around his neck. His shirt has long, voluminous sleeves and a row of small white buttons down the front. The pants are baggy and end abruptly above his white-stockinged ankles over white slippers. The fabric seems to have a sheen. In the shallow space behind him, a stone wall curves toward us to either side of a doorway that leads to a park-like setting. A crimson-red curtain is pulled to our right. Pierrot stands on the top of two steps, and the people to either side are arranged along the stage or the step that runs close to the bottom edge of the canvas. A spray of white flowers drapes down the front of the steps to our right of center. The group to our left has eight men, women, and children. Closest to us and in the lower left corner, a young man wearing a tomato-red jester’s costume trimmed with bells sits on the steps as he twists and looks back at the scene behind him. He holds a scepter or puppet in the shape of a doll-like jester. Two children gather at his feet. One weaves stems of white flowers together, and the other looks at us, smiling. Just above them another cleanshaven young man sits holding a lute in his lap. He wears a brick-red coat, brown breeches, and slate-blue stockings over crossed legs. He leans back and looks up and to our left, his round cheeks flushed. At the back of this group, two people wear tan-colored costumes covered in muted green and pink diamond shapes, and one might wear a brown mask. That person’s pink lips, black mustache and eyebrows, and black dots for eyes appear painted onto a hard, molded surface. The group of six people to our right stand on the same level as Pierrot. At the front of that group, a heavyset young man wears a gold-colored costume trimmed with black and a waist-length, Wedgewood-blue cape. He faces us but looks to our right as he leans back with one arm extended toward Pierrot. Beyond him are two woman and another person shown only from the neck up. The woman closest to Pierrot wears a pewter-gray gown with a scooped neckline. To the right of the man in gold is an old man with a long beard, wearing a black skullcap and cloak. He leans on a short staff and turns his head to look at the group. The last person on the far right is shown from the neck up and stands before the red curtain hanging from the upper right.",{"_294":747,"_296":748,"_298":749},"https://img.ochreeditions.com/m/1481.jpg?dl=1","/art/the-italian-comedians-nga-32687","/galleries/style/french-eighteenth-century/the-italian-comedians-nga-32687",{"_290":291,"_292":293},{"_224":742,"_125":743,"_284":744},{"_275":739,"_277":740,"_279":723,"_280":741},91.2,78.21474609375001,63.21474609375001,{"_286":224,"_123":745,"_154":746,"_140":97},{"_286":125,"_123":287,"_154":288,"_140":289},{"_286":284,"_123":166,"_154":165,"_140":168},"artist/antoine-watteau","More by Antoine Watteau","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1481/480.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1481/960.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1481/1920.jpg",{"_310":763,"_312":764},{"_310":761,"_312":762},{"_310":759,"_312":760},{"_310":757,"_312":758},{"_310":755,"_312":756},"#d6bea3",0.0525,"#917355",0.1565,"#7e3f17",0.1934,"#33281b",0.2535,"#594a36",0.3441,"Antoine Watteau","antoine-watteau","French, 1684–1721",1684,"Valenciennes","Nogent-sur-Marne","Watteau came to Paris from Valenciennes, worked with the theatre painter Claude Gillot and the decorator Claude Audran, and studied Rubens’s Medici cycle at the Luxembourg Palace.","le-duel-the-duel-nga-45777","Le Duel (The Duel)",{"_42":819,"_221":820,"_324":821,"_326":327,"_328":552,"_330":822,"_332":-5,"_334":-5,"_335":-5,"_140":103},"in or after 1756","etching on laid paper","sheet (trimmed to plate mark): 33.1 x 23.7 cm (13 1/16 x 9 5/16 in.)",23.7,33.1,0.719970703125,[804,805,806,807,808],{"_220":375,"_221":376,"_42":377,"_303":378},"1958.8.132","Charles Germain de Saint-Aubin made this (in or after 1756), aged 35.

Some of them wear floral wreaths or ribbons in their upswept hair. Groups gather around a woman and man who dance together to our left in the scene. Some in the group of onlookers to our left hold musical instruments, including a violin and a pipe. Another group is nestled among trees just beyond the dancers, at the center of the painting, and more sit and stand to our right. The dancing woman wears a gleaming, ice-blue gown with rows of flowers in muted pink, blue, and gold down the full skirt and around the bottom hem, which falls short of her thin ankles. More garlands cross her chest and shoulders, and flowers are tucked into her dark gray hair. She faces us with her head turned to our right as she looks off in that direction with dark eyes under curving brows. She has a delicate nose, rosy, round cheeks, and pink lips. She holds her arms spread wide with the thumb touching the index finger of each hand. The man with whom she dances wears a coral-red tunic and breeches with sleeves decorated with pale pink and blue ribbons. The brim of his brown hat is turned up. His body faces us but he turns his head to look at the woman, his lips parted. The man and woman each have one gracefully pointed foot raised. The dancers and groups are enclosed within a park-like setting with tall trees to either side, and a screen of trees across the back of the space. The trees have slender trunks and canopies in shades of pine, sage, and moss green. Near the back middle of the scene, a stone column topped by a human head wearing a wreath of laurel leaves rises above the central group. A fountain with a vertical jet of water is tucked into the shadows within a grove of trees along the right edge of the painting. The water falls into a pool in the lower right corner.",{"_294":1038,"_296":1039,"_298":1040},"https://img.ochreeditions.com/m/1308.jpg?dl=1","/art/la-camargo-dancing-nga-96","/galleries/style/french-eighteenth-century/la-camargo-dancing-nga-96",{"_290":291,"_292":293},{"_224":1033,"_125":1034,"_284":1035},{"_275":1030,"_277":1031,"_279":1016,"_280":1032},121.7,91.1956787109375,76.1956787109375,{"_286":224,"_123":1036,"_154":1037,"_140":89},{"_286":125,"_123":287,"_154":288,"_140":289},{"_286":284,"_123":166,"_154":165,"_140":168},"artist/contemporaries-of-nicolas-lancret","Nicolas Lancret's contemporaries","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1308/480.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1308/960.jpg","https://img.ochreeditions.com/a/1308/1920.jpg",{"_310":1053,"_312":1054},{"_310":1052,"_312":760},{"_310":1050,"_312":1051},{"_310":1048,"_312":1049},{"_310":1046,"_312":1047},"#a6a482",0.1135,"#7d775a",0.1375,"#4e3c22",0.1698,"#525035","#2d291a",0.3858,"Nicolas Lancret","nicolas-lancret","French, 1690–1743",1690,1743,"are-they-thinking-about-the-grape-pensent-ils-au-raisin-aic-44742","Are They Thinking about the Grape?
