About this work

The image depicts two figures, Razullo and Cucurucu, in a lively scene. Razullo, on the left, is dressed in a long coat and hat, holding a long instrument that resembles a cross between a lute and a bow. He appears to be playing it, with his right hand on the neck and his left hand holding the bow. Cucurucu, on the right, wears a shorter coat and a feathered hat, and seems to be dancing or moving to the music. In the background, a crowd of people can be seen gathered around a stage or platform, with buildings visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere is one of energy and movement, with the two main figures taking center stage. This image is a great example of the work of artist Callot, Jacques.
