This exquisite 17th century print depicts the melancholic and tormented character of Cardenio from the French comedy "Les Folies de Cardenio" by Pichou, dated 1629. The play, also known as "La Folle Revenge" or "The Mad Revenge," is a complex and intricate tale of love, betrayal, and revenge. Cardenio, portrayed in this image with a pensive expression and a broken heart, is a central figure in the story.
