Two Turks Dressed in Turbans with a Plume

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two full-body figures standing upright with a slight lean. Both figures have their arms bent at the elbows, with hands resting on their waists or sides. Their facial features are detailed, with prominent mustaches and solemn expressions. Each figure's head is adorned with a large turban featuring elaborate folds and a central plume. They are dressed in long robes with elaborate patterns, wide sleeves, and tied with sashes at the waist. The robes extend to mid-calf, revealing striped leggings on the figure on the left and plain cloth-covered legs on the one on the right. The background is plain.
