This charcoal drawing by Danish artist Jens Juel, created between 1774-1776, portrays Francesco Ravai, a dwarf known as Bajocco. The artwork depicts Bajocco standing, facing left in a three-quarter profile, with a prominent beard and a stick in his right hand. Juel's drawing captures the unique physical characteristics of the individual while highlighting Bajocco's humble demeanor. It is a poignant example of Jens Juel's mastery of portraiture and his interest in capturing the essence of his subjects. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
