Fà ballar i Cani (Street Entertainer)

Gaetano Zompini

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a group of four people under a decorative archway and next to a column. The man on the far left is leaning on a staff and singing. To his right is a man playing a violin. Beside him is another figure playing a guitar or a lute. Slightly set apart from the group is a younger individual gesturing with one hand held out, holding a hat in the other. The background features a building with small windows, clouds, and a lined sky, capturing an urban street scene.
