The work features a full-length Synthetic Cubist depiction of a Harlequin figure holding a stringed instrument (mandolin or lute). The artist employs sharp geometric angles, diamond-patterned grid work on the costume, a stylized bicorn or pointed hat, and deep charcoal tonal shading set against architectural background forms. The composition is neatly enclosed within a drawn linear border on a cream-toned paper sheet. Mid-20th Century (Estimated 1940s–1950s). Unsigned; artist unidentified, exact date unknown. A bold, graphically confident Cubist figure study suited to a collector of early modernist drawing.

Authentic vintage studio condition. Rich charcoal contrast with visible paper grain and soft shading. Unframed paper sheet showing natural light age toning, minor corner softness, and subtle handling wear near the outer margins. Ideal size for custom matting and framing.
