Saint Andrew

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a male figure holding two large logs and a bundled cloth in his left arm, while his right arm holds another set of logs. His head is turned slightly to his left, and he is gazing into the distance. The figure has long, wavy hair and a full beard, with distinct facial features such as a prominent nose and furrowed brow. He is dressed in a loose, flowing robe tied at the waist, and the cloth draped over his left arm hangs down towards his feet, alongside two fish that he holds by their tails. In the background, there are two scenes: on the left, two smaller figures appear to be struggling with a large wooden structure, while on the right, a crowd gathers around someone standing on a platform. The style is a detailed black and white engraving with a sense of depth and texture in the clothing and objects.
