About this work

A little man (caricature), more or less seen from the left side, with a hunchbacked back over which runs a row of buttons, a cap with feathers on his head, a sword at his right side. This print is part of a series of 21 prints with grotesque figures; almost all those figures are caricatures of little men, many are hunchbacked.
