Povero in Mascara — Grevembroch 3-80 - History Walks in Venice "Povero in Mascara" from the Gli abiti de veneziani (1754) by Giovanni Grevembroch, translated by René Seindal.

Beggar in mask — destitute Venetian nobility begging on the streets.

"As Mr Giambattista Gropelli always disapproved of this occult proceeding, so the Gentleman desired, that here his antipathy be marked."
