Noble Man with Folded Hands

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in profile, facing left, with hands clasped in front of their chest. One knee is slightly bent, and the feet suggest movement. The person has a pointed beard, long nose, large hat shading their face, shoulder-length hair, ornate robe, fur-trimmed collar, textured sleeves, and detailed footwear. The background features an urban setting with buildings, arches, and people. The artist's signature is in the lower left corner.
