Gobbo Playing the Bagpipe [Gobbi] by Jacques Callot, 1622. The Gobbi were a well known troup of dwarves who used to perform in the 16th century. This image is actually one in a series. |
19th C. copy of "Les Gobbi" after Jacques Callot |
And another 19th c. copy |
Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, Sonatori sconcertati (Discordant Musicians), from an unnumbered set of twelve caricatures engraved after Pietro de Rossi's drawings, 1686 (looks like Callot again). |
Bagpiper by David Deuchar (fl. 1771-1803) |
This by Anton Overlaet Flemish , 1720 - 1774 after a painting by David Teniers. Doesn't this look like Deuchar's Bagpiper? |
