Specialist note

After the demise of the Photo-Secession and the Linked Ring, the London Salon, founded in 1910, became the most highly influential artistic photography society, encouraging more adventurous studies than the rival Royal Photographic Society. Dubreuil was closely associated with the Salon and reserved his best work for its annual exhibition, including Harlequin, Still Life, 1923 (lot 134). This is the only known print of the image.
