Scapino and Cap. Zerbino is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two oddly dressed men in the middle of a street. The one on the left wears a long coat and a wide-brimmed hat with feathers, holding what looks like a rolled-up paper or a scroll. The man on the right has a tall feathered hat, a loose outfit covered in buttons, and a long stick. Around them, smaller figures mill about—some carry umbrellas, others look like they’re playing or watching. The scene feels like a mix of comedy and chaos, with exaggerated poses and expressions. The text at the bottom reads *"Scapino. Cap. Zerbino"*, hinting at characters from a play. If this style of drawing interests you, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these sharp, detailed prints.
