Gentleman with Cane

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length drawings of a person in different poses. The individual is dressed in fashionable attire reminiscent of an earlier era. Both figures are depicted standing in profile and looking in different directions. The person is wearing a feathered hat, a knee-length cloak with fur trim, a cinched doubler, breeches with bows at the knees, heeled shoes, and a ribbon tied at the knee. They hold a slim cane in one hand. The background is minimally detailed, focusing on the figure's fashion and posture.
