Cripple with Crutch and Wooden Leg

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a person in a crouched, forward-leaning position, using two sticks for support. The person has a grimacing expression, with a curved nose, a furrowed brow, and a slightly open mouth. They have short hair that sticks out from the back of a hooded garment they are wearing. One of their arms is curled up against their shoulder, while the other holds a wooden crutch. One of their legs is also supported by a wooden stick. The background of the print is plain paper.
