This is a wonderful 1920's Colour Illustration Of Coquette Performers in the roles of Pierrot & Pierrette. Traditionally from the Commedia dell'Arte, Pierrot is in love with and pines for Columbine. who leaves him for Harlequin - but the sentimental 1920s loved to depict Pierrette, created as his female equivalent, who would be his true love.
