Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration depicting two costumed characters performing a scene. The character on the left, identified as "Razullo," holds a long object, potentially an instrument, towards the other character, labeled "Cucurucu." Cucurucu is shown in a dramatic pose with raised arms and spread legs. Both characters wear detailed, feathered headpieces and textured clothing. In the background, a crowd is gathered in front of architectural structures resembling a town square or stage set. The illustration portrays a theatrical moment with a focus on the characters' gestures and attire.
