(From Wikipedia) There is a story about the pierrot which relates how a
small naked boy was found outside the gates of Heaven. It was winter,
and as St Peter picked up the child and blessed him, the snow on his
body turned into a suit of pure white clothing. St Peter adopted the
child and gave him his own name - Little Peter or Pierrot - but there
was one condition, Pierrot was not to be allowed to play with any of
the human children he might come across as he wandered outside the
gates of Paradise. Of course, this was almost impossible for a small
boy, and on his return from just such a meeting he realised that his
white suit now had black marks on it where the ordinary children had
touched him. They proclaimed his guilt, and Pierrot was excluded from
Paradise forevermore.
Here is my version of the Pierrot, derived from the story and from the
pantomime image(the red mouth cut to make it larger,the make up, hair
etc).
This is an image of a being which once was so pure, so immaculate, that
its flesh seared where it was touched by others.And in touching it,
they had contaminated it too.
