Two Pantaloons Dancing

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two humanoid figures facing each other. The figures have exaggerated facial features and are adorned with horned hats. Both characters appear to be in motion. The figure on the left is mid-stride with one leg lifted, while the figure on the right is standing with a slightly forward-leaning pose, their arm resting on their hip. The drawing uses fine lines and minimal shading, with a plain background.
