Does one, especially a girl, wearing a polka-dot dress with really big, big (white) dots make one a clown. The implication is there, from the scene of circus clowns donning all kinds of colourful jumper suits with big polka dots. In the past, the ‘uniform’ of the clown, then known as harlequin is mostly checked, you can find several in Picasso’s works. This nubile girl with long plaited ‘horse-tails’ is anything but clownish, but before the time of ‘selfies’ she has her handy accessory of reassurance that her hair is neat, face cleared of blemishes and her dress having no wardrobe malfunction. Indeed, Woman, Vanity is thy Name.
