Beschreibung

Old colored aquatint etching. -- In the rear of a barn-like theater, a chaotic scene unfolds. Three witches brandishing broomsticks emerge from a rectangular opening in the foreground, while behind the stage, various performers and props create a lively atmosphere. An actor receives attention for his hair, a coat is being mended, and a Pantaloon sits atop a ladder, clutching an oversized tobacco pipe. The audience area, ascending steeply towards the back of the rickety structure, features a gallery, and three musicians occupy a rustic balcony on the left. Two chandeliers hang in front of the curtain, illuminating the stage. -- Sheet: c. 40 x 50 cm.-- slightly stained, otherwise in good condition. -- Very rare satirical print. || BM 1874,1010; BMSat 7812.
