Marriage a la Mode, by Hogarth (1732): rings on the castrato's hand
Return
Castrato
Italian: Castrato (long-limbed due to hormonal imbalance), nose like a pig:
a monstrosity. Fingers crudely covered to excess with rings, wearing
earrings. Possibly this is castrato Giovanni Carestini, Senesino, or
Farinelli.
