The Colombina is an award that is awarded annually in the form of a bronze statue by a jury of the Dutch Association of Theater and Concert Hall Directors to the most impressive female supporting actress of the Dutch theater season.
First awarded in 1964, the statuette has been designed by Eric Claus since 2005. Previous designers were Nic Jonk,[1] and Pépé Grégoire. It is named after the Columbina stock character from the commedia dell'arte, and it is a companion piece to the Arlecchino, the prize awarded to the most impressive male supporting actor of the season.
