His figures have a theatrical air, especially those with the appearance of Pierrot and Columbine and other Commedia dell'Arte characters. Consciously flirting with the decorative, Bowes often compresses the background and foreground, as in wallpaper, and there is a suggestion of fabric design in the way he repeats his patterns at intervals on the surface. In some images, patterns emerge. In others, the pattern overwhelms itself
Provenance; Lucio Amelio Collection, Naples; Private collection. Slight defects.
