Cap. Babeo and Cucuba

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two fantastical figures in a street scene. The image features two characters labeled "Cap. Babeo" and "Cucuba" in the foreground. Both figures have exaggerated physical features and are adorned with feathered hats. Their postures suggest a confrontation or a dance. In the background, there is a scene of a bustling street with buildings and smaller figures engaged in various activities. The style of the drawing suggests an etching technique, with detailed line work capturing both the figures and the lively street setting.
