Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length illustrations of the same individual, depicted in standing positions. Both figures are facing slightly towards each other, with their arms raised; the left figure raises both hands, while the right lifts one. The character has curly hair and distinct facial features, including a wide smile. Each figure wears a large, elaborate hat adorned with a feather or decorative element. Their clothing consists of voluminous shirts with long sleeves, baggy pants, and shoes with long toes. Capes are draped over their shoulders, with one side of the cape seen gathered prominently in their hands. The background is plain.
