Giacomo Ceruti, nicknamed "Pitocchetto" (the little beggar), is still an enigmatic personality. His fame rests upon his numerous portraits and genre paintings. As his sobriquet implies, these often portray figures from the lower classes and seem to have enjoyed a widespread popularity among amateurs throughout northern Italy. Our painting is typical both in the social class of the subject, probably a maidservant carrying her mistress's dog, and its direct, unidealized presentation.
