About the Item
Watercolors and ink on paper by Giuseppe Piattoli (Florence 1748 – 1834).
It’s the preparatory drawing of one of the 40 plates printed by Carlo Lasinio (Treviso, 1759 – Pisa 1838) for the first series of the “Proverbi Toscani” (Tuscan Proverbs) edited in Florence in 1786 by Giuseppe Pagni and Nicolò Bardi.
This specific one says, as reported among the upper edge, “uomo maritato è uccello in gabbia” meaning that "a married man is like a bird in cage". The scene clearly reflect the phrase, as it can be seen by the man sited inside a square cage in front of a woman proudly laughing at him. It's a very rare piece and a interesting and detailed example of fashion of the Rococo Style.
