Description
A small Doccia figure from the commedia dell'arte c.1760, probably Trivellino, wearing a wide-legged white costume edged in green, with a slouch hat and a black mask, his right hand outstretched, raised on a small square base, some good restoration to his right hand, 12cm.
Trivellino often acted as a counterpart to Harlequin and his costume is often described as edged with triangles of blue or green.
