Riciulina and Metzetin

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features two characters, Riculina and Metzetin, depicted in full body views. Riculina is on the left, standing with one leg raised and arms bent in a gesture. She has distinct facial features, curly hair tied up with a bow and feathers, and wears a detailed costume with a beaded necklace. Metzetin is on the right, holding a large stringed instrument and wearing a pointed hat with a plume, a flowing coat, and tied trousers. The background shows a gathering of people and buildings, framed by trees.
