The Little Devil of Florence 1907

"The Little Devil of Florence," a 1907 etching by Scottish artist David Young Cameron (1865-1945), depicts a grotesque, gargoyle-like figure in profile. This single figure, captured in a dark, expressive style, dominates the composition, creating a stark contrast against the light, untextured background. The artwork is a testament to Cameron's mastery of etching, showcasing his skill in capturing detailed anatomy and intricate textures within the figure's form. The viewer is invited to contemplate the symbolism of the devilish figure, its place in the urban landscape, and the artist's artistic vision.
