| Description | A fashionable man in 1790 - a Scaramouch |
| Details |
A Scaramouch (or Scaramouche): a fashionable dandyish man wearing short boots with spurs, a jacket cut short in front with multiple lapels, a large hat and carrying a decorative cane. He is also wearing an extremely high cravat. Scaramouche is a character of the Commedia dell'Arte and also appears in Punch and Judy. He is frequently struck by Punch, causing his head to come off his shoulders; his name is therefore associated with puppets with extendable necks.
