Cap. Cerimonia and Siga. Lavinia

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in full body view. On the left is a character labeled "Cap. Cerimonia" standing with a slightly bent posture and head tilted to the right. This figure has exaggerated facial features, a large pointed nose, broad grin, and a wing-like structure emerging from the back. The character wears a long, buttoned garment with an elongated shoe and holds a theatrical mask with streamers. On the right is "Sig. Lauma," a female figure standing upright and slightly turned to the left. She wears a large feathered hat and has an elegant hairstyle with curled hair framing her face. She is dressed in a long gown with her right hand on her hip. Both figures are in an open courtyard or plaza with smaller figures in the background engaged in various festive activities and dancing. Simple buildings with facades and the characters' names inscribed below them can be seen.
