The "Harlequin" Clock - Art Talk
Edouard, expert of our Rive Gauche gallery, here presents you the fascinating history of the "Harlequin" Clock by Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1757-1843).
Harlequin is a popular character in the Italian #commediadellarte. Nimble and acrobatic servant, he is always hungry and thirsty, and often is in love with Colombine. The clock model became extremely popular during the late French empire period and the early years of the Bourbon restoration.
