Gentleman and His Page

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image contains two full-body sketches of the same person in different poses on a plain background. The sketch on the left shows the person in a dynamic, forward-leaning pose with one arm extended forward and the other hand holding a mask. The person has an open mouth, a prominent nose, curly hair, and is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, a vertically striped vest, breeches, knee-high boots, and a sword at the side. The sketch on the right shows the person facing away with a hand on the hip and the other hand holding the mask. The person's features, hair, and clothing are consistent with the left sketch.
