Captain Zerbino and Scapino. Etching depicting the two well-known Commedia dell'arte figures in animated conversation over a flagon of wine. Ca. 1630, after Callot

70 x 89 mm.

Quite a strong impression on good quality paper.

A reverse, pirated version of Lieure 390. One of the 24 plates from the series Balli di Sfessania; the original background with additional figures, a house and tree are not represented in the present version.
