Fabio, from the Italian Comedy, dressed as a doctor, in an outfit made up of matching doublet and breeches, a belt tied around the waist, stockings and high heeled shoes with bows. Around the neck, under the doublet, the round, ruffled collar of his chemise is seen; the cuffs of the shirt also peek out from the sleeves of the doublet. The face is half-covered with a black mask, the hands are gloved, and a beret adorns the head.
