About this work
A little man (caricature), seen from the right, with a hunched back, playing a hurdy-gurdy as if it were a violin, a cap with two feathers on his head, a sword at his left side. This print is part of a series of 21 prints with grotesque figures; almost all those figures are caricatures of little people, many are hunched.
