Peasant with Hat in Hand

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men in full length, both facing right and appearing to be in motion. They are slightly hunched forward with one foot raised. They have aged facial features, short hair, and beards, and are dressed in loose-fitting clothing consisting of a long coat, knee-length pants, and shoes. One of them appears to be holding an object in one hand. The background of the image is plain with a light texture typical of aged paper or etching.
