专家说明

The present lot depicts Hanswurst, a popular figure in German comedy, dressed in his typical wide-brimmed hat, belt and braces and ruff collar. Joseph Anton Stranitzky, the most famed actor to play Hanswurst, popularized the naive slapstick humor of the character in Vienna at the Kärntnertortheater in the early 18th century.
