Peasant Woman with Basket, in Profile, Facing Right

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two full-body side profiles of women facing each other. Both women have their hair styled in a bun at the back of their heads and are wearing long, layered dresses with fitted bodices and peplums, featuring striped patterns on the skirts. Their footwear resembles flat shoes. The women are depicted against a minimal background that includes line drawings of trees and a rural setting with a few trees scattered around.
