Mardi Gras

Paul Cézanne was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work introduced new modes of representation, influenced avant-garde artistic movements of the early 20th century and formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and early 20th-century Cubism.

Pierrot and Harlequin or Mardi Gras is an 1888–1890 oil on canvas painting by Paul Cézanne, now in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. As the title suggests, it shows the commedia dell'arte characters Pierrot and Harlequin.
