THE MOST TRAGIC OF LOVE STORIES
COMMEDIA DEL'ARTE
R. John Wright Dolls presented 2006 the classic Commedia dell'arte fable of Columbine, Pierrot, and Harlequin. Columbine was produced as a special event piece. True to the Commedia dell'arte storyline, Columbine's two handsome suitors - are now both competing for her affections: gentle Pierrot and haughty Harlequin.
Standing approximately 14" tall, Pierrot fully jointed and made entirely of the finest all-wool felt incorporating realistic sculptural torsos and limbs and compelling molded character faces with exquisitely hand painted features.
Pierrot is costumed in a classic pure silk outfit with covered felt buttons. On his head is a felt skullcap and a wide brim hat topped by a felt feather. Black cotton stockings and hand-cobbled shoes made of fine white leather complete his period ensemble. Around his neck Pierrot holds a beautifully detailed custom-made wooden mandola with which to serenade his beloved Columbine.
