"Caprice" is an etching by French artist Jean-Baptiste de Grateloup, which depicts three figures in various poses, each holding a musket. The artwork, held by The Art Institute of Chicago, demonstrates Grateloup's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the nuances of human movement. The figures are rendered in a simplified, almost caricature-like style, with exaggerated features and poses, highlighting the playful nature of the work, which could be an example of early "caricature" art.
