Description
Previously misidentified as an allegorical or mythological artwork, Roberto Zapperi has identified it instead as a group portrait.[1] To the right is the hairy-faced Arrigo, a sufferer from hypertrichosis, with the head of 'Pietro Matto' or 'Mad Peter' in the top right hand corner. To the left is the dwarf Amon, with a parrot on his shoulder and a dog under his right arm.[2]
