About As Pagliacco

The artwork, entitled “As Pagliacco,” is a caricature and self-portrait created by the artist Enrico Caruso in 1910. Executed on paper, this piece belongs to the genre of caricature and showcases Caruso’s interpretation of himself in a whimsical manner.

The artwork depicts a jovial and exaggerated face sporting an oversized smile, wide eyebrows, and adorned with a distinctive clown hat that spirals at the top. The simplistic yet expressive line work captures a sense of playful exuberance that is characteristic of caricature. The absence of color and the focus on bold, stark lines bring the viewer’s attention to the exaggerated facial features, enhancing the humorous and light-hearted nature of the self-portrait. Caruso’s signature and the year “1910” are inscribed in the upper right-hand corner, adding a personal and historical touch to the piece.
