Pierrot met worst 1774 - 1799

"Pierrot met worst" is an engraving by Jacques Louis Copia, created between 1774 and 1799. The artwork depicts a playful scene with a Pierrot character, traditionally a comedic figure in theater, and a young woman. Pierrot, dressed in his signature white costume, is playfully interacting with the woman, while holding a bowl in his hand, perhaps filled with a delicacy. This engraving captures the spirit of the commedia dell'arte, a popular Italian theatrical tradition, and the work of Copia, known for his skill in depicting the human figure in motion.
