Officer with Plume, Seen from Behind

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

Two male figures are depicted standing with their backs to the viewer, each with one arm extended outward. They wear distinctive hats with plumes, knee-length coats, and leggings. One figure's tunic features vertical stripes. A small plant is near the foot of one figure. In the background, smaller figures in period attire are present, one holding a staff and two others with spears or weapons. The background is minimal, emphasizing the figures in the illustration.
