The Woman with a Tambourine, 1790s. Creator: Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (Italian, 1727-1804)
The Woman with a Tambourine, 1790s. Observed by Punchinello and friends, a centaur is subdued by a maidens musical charms. Rendered touchingly vulnerable, the creature lies with its head on the girls lap. One of the simplest instruments, the tambourine was typically played by itinerant musicians--nymphs, vagabonds, seducers--and was traditionally considered the quintessential attribute of the outsider, an aspect reinforced in the 20th century by Bob Dylans Mr. Tambourine Man

EDITORS COMMENTS
by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo captures a whimsical scene that transports us to a world of enchantment. In this print, we find ourselves in the company of Punchinello and his friends as they witness an extraordinary sight. At the center of attention is a young maiden who skillfully plays her tambourine, bewitching not only those around her but also a gentle centaur. Rendered with delicate strokes, the vulnerable creature rests its head on the girl's lap, completely subdued by her musical charms. The tambourine itself holds symbolic significance in this artwork. Traditionally associated with itinerant musicians and outsiders like nymphs and vagabonds, it represents an aspect of rebellion against societal norms. This notion was further reinforced in modern times through Bob Dylan's iconic song "Mr. Tambourine Man". Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo masterfully combines various artistic techniques to bring this scene to life. With framing lines in brown ink over graphite and black chalk details enhanced by pen and brown ink washes, he creates depth and texture that captivate our imagination. This exquisite piece is part of The Cleveland Museum of Art collection and has been beautifully preserved for generations to appreciate its timeless beauty. Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to experience this magical moment through their high-quality print reproduction while reminding us of the rich cultural heritage Italy has bestowed upon the art world.
