專家說明

Several drawings depict Punchinellos doing business (see Gealt, op. cit., 1986, nos. 43, 46, 47, 48); this sheet is one of the most colourful. The stall at this market overflows with apples, gourds and melons, while at left two Punchinellos ‘examine a different kind of melon on a female companion. Her indifference to their familiarity suggests that she is a vendor of another sort’ (ibid., p. 120). A very similar pair of Punchinello appears in one of the roughly contemporary frescoes made by Domenico Tiepolo for the family villa at Zianigo, now at the Ca’ Rezzonico, Venice (see fig. 3).
