The Hooded Cripple

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features curved and flowing lines forming an abstract figure resembling a man with a fish head. The head is elongated and has gills, a pointed snout, and whisker-like lines. The body is wrapped in a large coat with an oversized cuff. The figure is holding a walking stick, blending human posture and dress with the fish features.
