Gentleman Viewed from the Side

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body illustrations of the same standing person, posed in a three-quarters turn facing the right side. The person has distinct facial features, curly hair, and wears a hat with feathers. They are adorned with a fur-trimmed cape, knee-length breeches, stockings, and shoes with bows. A sword is visible under the cape. There are no visible jewelry pieces. The illustrations are set against a plain, textured background.
