Man with Sword

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This image shows two full-body illustrations of a person from the back. The figure on the left holds a stick and stands slightly turned to the right, with one leg bent and the other supporting their weight. The second figure leans against a flat surface, resting their elbow on it, with one leg crossed over the other. Both figures wear elaborate pointed hats with plumes, puffed sleeves, loosely fitting trousers, and ribbon-like details on their footwear. They have stylized facial features, including a prominent nose and distinct chin seen in profile, and wear draped garments over their shoulders. The background is a plain, textured surface.
