after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals from head to toe. The person on the left is facing right, hunched over with a stick for support. They have a bushy beard, wear a brimmed hat, short-cropped hair, and a long cloak. The person on the right is standing straight, facing forward, with a long, disheveled beard, wearing a head wrap and loose clothing. They hold a hat in one hand. The background is plain.
