Seven Punchinellos huddle under a rain that bleeds in pale brown washes across the sheet, their hunched backs turned to us like a chorus of silent witnesses. Domenico Tiepolo’s tremulous ink lines dissolve the figures into the downpour, suggesting the weight of unseen burdens pressing down with the weather.
What does the camel’s steady gaze reveal about the scene’s quiet absurdity?
