Razullo and Cucurucu

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two costumed figures performing in a town square. The drawing depicts two figures labeled "Razullo" and "Cucurucu" engaged in a theatrical performance. "Razullo" is on the left, wearing a costume with large buttons and holding a long necked-stringed instrument. "Cucurucu" is on the right, shown in a similarly expressive pose with one arm raised. Both figures wear hats with feathers. The background shows townspeople gathered around a raised platform, with buildings enclosing the square. The image is detailed with fine lines, capturing the theatrical scene.
