About this work
An etched print shows a man in a wide-brimmed hat and loose clothing riding a donkey along a curving road, while flies swarm around him and the donkey's head. A tower and trees appear at the right and left edges, and an inscription in Italian runs along the bottom margin. The work is Plate 1 from Bertoldo, Bertoldino, and Cacasenno, attributed to Giuseppe Maria Crespi and dated 1705-15.
