The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It shows an aged charlatan seated on an armchair resting on a trestle stage in the Piazza del Campo, the main square of the Tuscan town of Siena.
- He holds in his left-hand the tools of his trade, vials and remedies, with pitchers and an invoice reading L'olio de filosofi di Straccione lying on the cheap timbre below him.
- The man is hefty and dressed in old, filthy clothes -he bears a dirty white robe with a blue sash, white leggings and heavy black shoes- and an unkempt beard, Bernardino has unflatteringly portrayed him as a mixture of a second rate Old Testament prophet, tattered alchemical philosopher, and the forbidding Roman god Saturn.
Why it is Common
