Gentleman Viewed from the Front with Hand on Hip

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The etching depicts two standing figures in similar poses. Both figures show a person with one hand on their hip and the other holding a sword or stick. The facial features are basic, with a simple expression. The figure wears a large hat with feathers and draped clothing resembling a classical style, including a cloak or toga-like garment and loose-fitting pants. The feet are turned slightly outward. The background is plain, emphasizing the figures.
