This etching, "Woman kneeling in front of magicians and other figures, from the Scherzi," is a work by renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, dating from 1738–55. The print depicts a scene with a kneeling woman in the foreground, while a group of figures, likely magicians, are positioned around her. The composition is dynamic, with figures rendered with a distinct sense of movement and energy. Tiepolo's etchings are known for their expressive line work and masterful use of light and shadow. This artwork showcases his skills as a draftsman, and provides a glimpse into his artistic process during the Rococo period.
