"Master Class with Harlequin"

The painting I included in this set (called 'Harlequin and His Companion") has been known to me since my early childhood - I had multiple opportunities to see it in person at Pushkin Museum of Fine Art in Moscow. While painting this piece I had yet another chance to appreciate the brilliant composition and color subtleties. I decided to add an interesting touch to my own composition by introducing the partial reflection of the companion figure.
