Smaralo Cornuto and Ratsa di Boio

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two large, exaggerated figures in a surreal landscape. One figure has a long nose, a cape with fringes, and a scrawny build, while the other is muscular with outstretched arms and a large head with striped patterns. In the background, there are people dancing around two tall, stick-like figures. The setting includes scattered architectural structures suggesting a village or town, with simple buildings and towers. The style is linear and detailed, resembling 17th-century European prints, with absurd and fantastical elements.
