EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Dwarfs: Obligeert, a Jewish Pigtail-Ribbon Vendor, and Bajocco, the Roman Dwarf, in one of the Streets of Copenhagen (1790-1800) by Jens Juel is a captivating oil painting that transports us back to the 18th century. The scene unfolds on the bustling streets of Copenhagen, Denmark, with two intriguing figures engaging in an exchange. On the left, we encounter Obligeert, a Jewish pigtail-ribbon vendor, whose expressive face and warm smile radiate a sense of kindness and hospitality. He wears a traditional Jewish hat, and his body is adorned with a long, flowing coat. In his hands, he holds a basket filled with colorful ribbons, which he offers to customers. His barefoot daughter, peeking out from behind him, adds a charming touch to the scene. On the right, we find Bajocco, a Roman dwarf, who is barefoot and dressed in simple, tattered clothing. He carries a walking stick and gazes intently at Obligeert's ribbons. The contrast between their appearances and backgrounds creates a fascinating juxtaposition, highlighting the diversity and inclusivity of urban life during this era. This evocative painting, created by Danish artist Jens Juel (1745-1802), showcases the rich cultural heritage of Denmark and Italy, as the artist, Juel, was influenced by both countries. The National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) proudly displays this masterpiece, which continues to captivate viewers with its vivid colors, intricate details, and compelling narrative.
