Lady with Plumes, and Two Gentlemen

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts three figures engaged in a dance or movement. The ink drawing shows three elegantly dressed figures in a sparse, undefined space. Each figure faces a different direction. The central figure faces forward with arms spread wide, while the flanking figures are turned slightly. Each figure wears a large hat with a feather, and historical attire with long coats and breeches. The hatched lines and minimal background focus on the figures, emphasizing their stances and attire. The phrase "Cum Privilegio Regni" is inscribed below the drawing.
