abystle: A Grotesque Scene with Animals Playing and a Dog Wrapped in Swaddling Clothes, The Master of the Fertility of the Egg, late 17th, early 18th Century. “The artist was a follower of the Brescian painter Faustino Bocchi (1659-1742).

The name dervies from the painting in the Milwaukee Art Museum which depicts dwarfs, geese and lobsters hatching out of eggs incubated by a large man (see M. Olivari, Faustino Bocchi e l’arte di figure pigmei 1659-1741, Milan 1990, p. 260, cat. D6). [X]” -- source link
