Definition
A sad, white-faced clown character from Italian and French theater, traditionally dressed in a loose white costume with sad makeup.
Etymology
From French 'Pierrot,' a diminutive form of the name 'Pierre,' derived from the stock character Pedrolino in Italian commedia dell'arte theater of the 1600s.
Kelly Says
Pierrot represents the 'sad clown' archetype—the character who makes others laugh while hiding their own sadness—an image so powerful it influenced art and literature for centuries and still shows up in modern movies.
