Duellist with Two Sabers

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a figure holding two swords in a fighting stance. The figure has exaggerated features, with a hunched back and a distorted face. The figure is standing on a flat surface, lunging forward with one leg bent and the other extended behind. The clothing includes a tunic with folds and stripes, and the swords are pointing in opposite directions. The style features sharp lines and a sense of movement.
