Cap. Cardoni and Maramao

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two fictional characters in a dynamic pose. The image depicts two exaggerated figures standing opposite each other. The figure on the left is titled "Cap. Cardoni" and appears to have elongated features, holding a staff or sword towards the ground. The figure on the right, "Maramao," is also exaggerated, bending forward with a stick aimed at "Cap. Cardoni." Both characters have elongated limbs and comic expressions. The scene is set in a town square with other figures in the background engaged in various activities, with architectural elements in the backdrop.
