Gentleman with Cane

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person depicted in a three-quarter view from the back. The person is in a leaning stance, with one leg forward and one arm on a cane. They have an elaborate hairstyle with a large, feathered hat. The outfit includes a fur-trimmed coat, unique sleeves, voluminous breeches, and shoes with ankle bows. The person holds a cane and there is no visible jewelry. The style is simple and sketch-like, with a plain background emphasizing the attire and pose.
