Anger

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure standing in a dynamic pose. The person is leaning slightly forward with their right arm extended upward, holding a sword. Their left arm is raised to the side, holding a circular shield. The individual's hair appears to be mid-length and is flowing. They have a sharp facial expression, with prominent features. The figure is dressed in a tunic or armor with detailed textures indicating fabric folds. A lion is positioned behind the figure, and a small winged creature is above them. The background is simple, with minimal details. The word "Ira" is written at the bottom. The entire illustration is created in a sketch or engraving style.
