The Big-eyed Waif style of painting is best exemplified by the work of Walter Keene.

I worked for a woman who had an original Keene in her living room. She was very excited when I correctly identified it. What I never told her was that I knew what it was because I despise the style so much. Keene's waifs were a lot more pitiful than your harlequin, though.

I honestly do not understand why people find these things anything other than creepy.
