Published in Paris by J. Mariette.\r\n\r\nScaramouche was the Robin Hood role in the commedia dell'arte, literally 'artistic comedy' developed in 16th century Italy. A company consisted of about ten actors, each of whom developed a specific type of character and comic business, such as a swaggering Captain, old men like Pantaloon or the Doctor, a simple clown and young lovers. The performance was improvised around these stock characters and a pre-agreed plot. The troupes spread into France and came to England in the mid 17th century; stock characters like Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon and Clown developed into the English Harlequinade, while Pulcinella, developed into Mr Punch.","physicalDescription":"Hand coloured full length engraved portrait of Joseph Tortoriti as Scaramouche. \r\n\r\nOn a stage, against a country background with a house to his left, a male figure steps forward from his left to his right foot, the head turned over his right shoulder, his right arm raised to shoulder height and bent with the fingers curving inwards; in his left hand he holds a guitar. He has a small goatee beard and drooping moustache. On his head is a 'bag' bonnet; his slim buttoned backet has a belt at the low waist and is trimmed with ruches down the fronts, armholes, lower edge and cuffs; at the neck is a deep frill. Around the upper proper right arm is draped a cloak. The breeches fasten below the knee.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Bonnart, Nicolas","id":"A13395"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":"probably"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"J.
