One-Eyed Woman

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length drawing of a person standing upright. The individual faces the viewer with a slightly angled posture, their left hand resting on a cane and the right arm crossing their body. Their facial features are detailed, showing an aged face with visible lines and a neutral expression. The person has short hair, mostly covered by a cloth tied around the head. They are dressed in a long garment, possibly a robe or cloak, with sleeves that are folded back around the wrists. A fur-like stole is draped over their shoulders. The person wears simple, loose footwear. The background is plain, with no additional elements.
