Cap. Bonbardon and Cap. Grillo is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two giant, horned men fighting in a crowd. One holds a club, the other swings wildly with a stick. Around them, tiny people watch from the sidelines, some pointing or running away. The names "Cap. Bonbardon" and "Cap. Grillo" are written below them, hinting this might be a playful or mocking scene.
