"Caricature of Man Holding a Stick and a Book" is a work by the French artist Raymond Lafage (1656–1684), known for his drawings and etchings. Lafage's work often depicted figures from mythology, religion, and history, as well as genre scenes and caricatures. This particular piece is notable for its representation of a man in a somewhat exaggerated and humorous manner, which is characteristic of caricature as an art form.

The drawing features a man holding a stick in one hand and a book in the other, suggesting a commentary on the individual's character or profession, possibly satirizing an academic or a pedant. The use of caricature in art has a long history, serving as a means to critique, entertain, and provide social commentary. Lafage's work in this genre contributes to the rich tradition of visual satire that extends back to the Italian Renaissance and beyond.

As an artist of the Baroque period, Lafage's style was influenced by the dramatic and expressive nature of the time, which is reflected in the dynamic lines and the vivid portrayal of the subject in this drawing. Although Lafage's life was brief, his artistic output was prolific, and his work was admired for its technical skill and imaginative compositions.

"Caricature of Man Holding a Stick and a Book" exemplifies Lafage's adeptness at capturing the essence of a character through the medium of drawing. The artwork remains an interesting example of 17th-century French caricature, offering insights into the social and cultural milieu of the period as well as the artistic trends that influenced Lafage's work.
