The first wife of Vadim Vadimovich (the hero and narrator of Look at the Harlequins!) is Iris Black.
In his memoir essay The Literary Evening at P. A. Pletnyov's (1869) Turgenev describes Pletnyov's guests and mentions the so-called "harlequin" (of different colors) irises of one of them:
адъютант в жандармском мундире, белокурый, плотный мужчина с разноцветными (так называемыми арлекинскими) зрачками
It was at this evening in the beginning of 1837 that the eighteen-year-old Turgenev met Pushkin (who dedicated to Pletnyov his Eugene Onegin) for the first (and second to last) time.
