The Hunchback with the Feathered Cap

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body illustration of a person seen from the back. The individual stands upright with their back to the viewer, their head turned slightly to the right. The person has curly hair cascading down the neck and ears, and they are wearing a large hat with a wide brim. The attire consists of a puffed, buttoned shirt with pronounced sleeves and knee-length, puffed trousers. A sword hangs from their waist, slightly touching the ground. The background is a plain, textured surface with no distinct features.
