Bertoldo Stuffed in a Sack

Giuseppe Maria Crespi and Ludovico Mattioli

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals. The person on the left is covered in a large cloak, only their head visible and slightly tilted downward. They wear a wide-brimmed hat. The other person stands upright facing the first person. They have short hair, wear a cap, tunic, tight pants, and boots. The second individual gestures towards the first. Both lack visible jewelry or objects. The background shows a textured wall with parallel lines and hatching. Italian text below the scene provides context.
