Peasant with Hat in Hand

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a simple ink sketch of two men in side profile. Both men are walking forward with their right legs lifted. Their facial features are minimally detailed, with elongated faces, noses, and chins. They have short hair and are dressed similarly in knee-length coats, loose clothing, and low shoes. Each figure holds an object resembling a hat in their right hand. The background is plain.
