Noble Man with Mantle Trimmed in Fur, Holding his Hands Behind his Back

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person walking to the right. The individual is shown in mid-stride, with one leg forward and an arm bent at the elbow. The person has facial features, a long pointed nose, a visible mustache, and short curly hair. They wear a wide-brimmed hat casting a shadow over their face. They wear a fur-trimmed coat, voluminous trousers, high boots, and have a sword hanging at their side. The background shows a street scene with small figures engaged in various activities in front of distinctly styled buildings.
