Gentleman Viewed from the Front with Hand on Hip

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures in similar standing positions with one leg slightly bent at the knee and hands on their hips. The individuals have matching facial features, shoulder-length hair, wide-brimmed hats with feathers, and are dressed in flowing robes with high collars, loose pants, and draped garments around their shoulders. One figure is holding what appears to be a sword. The background is plain with a light texture.
