"Reverse Copy of Une Fête sur la Place de la Signoria a Florence (A Festival on the Piazza della Signoria in Florence)" is an etching by an anonymous artist from the 17th century that is part of the "Les Caprices" series. The etching, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a crowded public square in Florence with a large procession of people and a figure in the foreground, looking out at the scene. The composition uses detailed linework to represent the architecture of the square, and the chaotic scene suggests the bustle of a city in the Renaissance.
