Harlequin head

During the last ten years of his life, Gargallo dedicated many of his works to representing and glossing the image of the harlequin, both in sculpture - there are three versions of a small silver mask, up to nine versions of a copper sheet mask and three versions of a head also in copper sheet, in addition to the Harlequin with mandolin, 1925, the Little harlequin with flute and the Great harlequin, both from 1931 - as well as in very diverse drawings (masks, heads, harlequin musicians, nudes, dresses) and even in this drypoint, which he had to engrave once the masks were completed and before undertaking the sculptural heads.
