Description:
Table two acrobats appear. Arlequin one, shown thoughtfully absent. His face expressed no emotion, hidden by makeup theater, this does not have any hair.
In the background we can see large areas, which can be seen over time, helping to create an atmosphere of solitude. Alequin and his partner do not communicate. Each of the two characters are absorbed in their own thoughts.

You can observe the change that occurs in the costume of women unlike his companion, his suit has a more vivid color (orange) that brings out quite this figure.
Apparently has seated next to a table, are waiting for something unknown.

You can see the two glasses are the same, do not come in contact with any of the characters.

Picasso wants to transmit a feeling of loneliness through an in predominantly blue, also being watched shadows on the face of acrobats.
