Walter Sickert's 'Brighton Pierrots' painted in 1915.
Before seeing this painting, I'd never heard the term 'pierrots' - the word sounds just as lively as Sickert's composition. You can feel the summer evening breeze in this painting and the clatter of the piano - I can't stop looking at it and thinking of all the pantomimes leading up to Christmas.
