Catalogue Note
Punchinello was a popular figure in Venetian art and theater, known for his mischievous antics. The most famous representation of his life and activities is the series of drawings by Domenico Tiepolo.1 The present examples are executed in the spirit of an illustrator such as Pietro Antonio Novelli.
