About the Item

Etching on paper. A lively etching from Jacques Callot’s celebrated series Balli di Sfessania, depicting two grotesque comic figures engaged in an exaggerated dance or mock duel. Identified by their captions as Pasquariello Truonno and Meo Squaquara, the characters embody the acrobatic energy and satirical spirit of the commedia dell’arte tradition. Callot’s incisive line and economical use of detail capture the elastic movement of the figures, whose distorted poses and expressive gestures convey both humor and social commentary. The small background group, sketched with remarkable economy, situates the scene within a festive public setting, enhancing the theatrical quality of the composition. The Balli di Sfessania series stands as one of Callot’s most influential achievements, marking a decisive moment in the development of caricature and comic imagery in early modern European printmaking. These works were widely admired for their technical brilliance and inventive character types, exerting a lasting influence on later satirical artists. Sheet trimmed and mounted; light age toning and scattered foxing consistent with age. A fine, well-preserved impression of this iconic and sought-after subject. Sheet dimension: 6x20 cm.
