Peasant with Sack

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an older man standing upright, facing to the right. He has detailed facial features with a stern expression, wearing a wide-brimmed hat that partially covers his hair. He is dressed in a long robe with layers underneath, and light footwear. He holds a walking stick in one hand and a folded piece of cloth in the other. The background includes a tree trunk on the right, sparse vegetation, a rocky terrain on the left, and possibly a goat under a cliff edge. The scene is set outdoors in a rural area.
