Pulcinella is a traditional Neapolitan mask who mocks and derides the powerful and finds odd solutions to apparently impossible quandaries. He was one of the subjects portrayed in the frescoes Tiepolo painted in two periods, between 1759 and 1797, for the family villa in his hometown, Zianigo, Venice (currently kept at the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum in Venice). Pulcinella was also central in the series of 104 drawings titled “Divertimento per li regazzi” (“Fun for Kids”) that Tiepolo created in the late 18th century.

Excellent condition, no marks or flaws
