Image Description
A thin Harlequin bears a large golden scythe overhead, riding a horse reared up on its hind legs. The Harlequin has long limbs and fingers and wears a mask with a round empty eye and striped red bristles haloing the top. His costume has black diamonds with pink, green, and white sections and he wears a large collar. The horse is gold with white legs and face and a round black eye. Red flourishes fill the air around and over the Harlequin and the horse.
