Various Caprices: The Woman in Handcuffs

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of a woman in a seated position with her hands cuffed. She wears a long dress and has dark hair. A man stands behind her, possibly reaching for her. A dead or dying bird is on the ground to the left. There are trees and foliage in the background. The woman and man are positioned in the center of the image. The overall scene appears to be set outdoors. The image is rendered in a sketchy, impressionistic style with heavy lines and shading. The image is on a light-colored background that appears to be paper.
