Description:

Full-length depiction of Polichinelle, the French adaptation of the commedia dell’arte stock character Pulcinella and a precursor to Punch. He wears a large bicorne and leans on a walking stick, his silhouette defined by a visible dorsal hump and a protruding belly as he strikes a self-assured pose.
