Pyramids of Jugglers is a 1652 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a series of five etchings, each showcasing a pyramid of jugglers in various poses. The jugglers are dressed in short tunics and hats, with some holding torches or clubs. The etchings are arranged in a grid, with two on top and three on the bottom. The etchings are rendered in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and textures that give the impression of depth and dimensionality. The use of light and shadow adds to the sense of volume and space. The etchings appear to be part of a larger series or collection, and may be intended to represent a specific theme or allegory.
