Punchinellos Felling late 18th–early 19th century

"Punchinellos Felling" is a drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The work depicts a lively scene of comedic violence, typical of the Punchinello character in Italian Commedia dell'arte. The use of brown wash in the drawing gives a sense of energy and movement, as the figures clash and tumble in a chaotic frenzy. This drawing exemplifies Tiepolo's mastery of capturing fleeting moments of action, a hallmark of his artistic style.
