Charming caricature by the Venetian master depicting a liveried gentleman with a tricorne, épée and a walking stick in profile, accentuating the figure's grotesque pointed nose and chin. The drawing can be attributed to Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, the oldest son and student of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
The drawing is very similar to the caricature of a gentleman with walking stick holding and tricorne that is held at the MET (Inv.: 37.165.68).
