This anonymous etching from the 17th century belongs to the "Les Caprices" series A, a collection of satirical engravings that were popular in Florence during this period. The artwork is a reverse copy of "L'Homme vu de Dos, La Main Droit Tendue," which translates to "Man Viewed from Behind, His Right Hand Extended." The image features two figures, both depicted from behind, showcasing a stylized fashion of the era, with exaggerated clothing and accessories. The artist's keen eye for detail and masterful use of line create a sense of movement and humor, making this etching a classic example of Baroque artistic style.
