Razullo and Cucurucu is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two odd, towering figures in a crowded street. Both wear oversized hats with feathers and baggy clothes. One holds a long pole like a weapon, the other a telescope. Behind them, a small stage has a crowd watching a performance with a cross and a figure on it. The title *Razullo* and *Cucurucu* hints these might be silly, exaggerated characters—maybe mocking something serious. The artist used sharp lines to make everything look lively and a little chaotic.
