Nicola Zabaglia, pl. XVII from "Recueil de caricatures" 1749 - 1759

This etching, part of a series titled “Recueil de caricatures,” depicts a man standing in profile. The work was created by the French artist Ange-Laurent de La Live de Jully in the 18th century and is a fine example of caricature in the Rococo period, which is characterized by its playful, lighthearted approach to artistic subjects. Jully skillfully captures the individual’s unique features through exaggerated lines and forms, highlighting the man's facial features, attire, and pose for comedic effect.
