Scaramouche

About this work

This sketch shows a man in old-fashioned clothes, walking with one hand outstretched. His outfit has a high collar, a long coat with buttons, and a ruffled shirt. He’s holding a staff and looks like he’s mid-step, with one foot slightly lifted. The background is simple—a few trees and a plain sky. The name "Scaramouche" is written below, which was a type of comic character in old plays. This is made using etching, a printing method where the artist scratches into a metal plate.
