Thanks to you, leda, for introducing this artist.
The curves of this artwork reminded me the famous galligrapher Hassan Massoudy (if it has not still been done, one could start a thread about this wonderful art)

Does anyone know the name of the artist
the one who painted a sort of harlequin in perhaps red and white stripes? His costume also has ruffles.. He is outside with maybe a few people and it's sunny
The style of the painting is impressionism
It's very much like Renoir
If you click the link^, these ones with the men in the yellow straw hats, the scenery and style and men remind me very much of this harlequin painting
I'm not sure if the painting is really by Renoir but the style is very close to his, maybe exact

I thought of this one when I read your post....by Antoine Watteau.

Peter Callesen's Works on snow and ice:
White Wall

installation consisting of 4 slides, 4 slide viewers, daylight bulbs, wooden boards & white paint.
280 x 300 cm
Made for the exhibition White Shadows, Esbjerg Museum of Art, Denmark, 2001

"This installation is based on a series of slides taken in Jotunheim of more fairytale-like and romantic images, showing a castle made of ice, a cave or the inside of a castle made of snow, a tunnel dug into snow and finally burning footsteps among mountains covered with snow.
The viewer can only watch the slides by bending down and looking into 4 small peep holes in a white wall. This makes it difficult to define the distance to the images as well as the scale of the photos and what they are picturing. In that sense this installation also becomes about searching and trying to orientate yourself as well as about dreams and seduction. But the dream is out of reach or at least inside or behind the wall. In extension to this the fantastic images also races the question if they are “real” or manipulated."
