Mezzetino 1726 - 1728

"Mezzetino" is a drawing by French Rococo artist Francois Boucher, created between 1726 and 1728. The artwork depicts a man, possibly a character from the Italian Commedia dell'arte, wearing a cloak and a distinctive hat. He is seated in a relaxed pose and captured with detailed, delicate lines. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Boucher's signature style, showcasing his skill in capturing both form and texture. Boucher’s drawings are known for their elegant and often playful portrayals of figures, and "Mezzetino" is no exception.
