cm. Kunst im Druck, Munich.
Condition B: losses, restored losses and restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired tears, creases
and abrasions in margins and image. Two-sheets. Framed.
A lithe, androgynous harlequin with a narcotically-calm, trance-like smile, is in the throes of a
performance, guiding puppets of dancing girls and tuxedoed gentlemen. A decadent image,
accomplished in a 1920s mannerist style, which fits in well with other visions of Munich nightlife, such
as those depicted by Schnackenberg (see previous lot).
