Il Solimano, Act IV

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an architectural street view with grand buildings lining a broad street on either side. The distant horizon is marked by an ornamental structure at the center. The facades of the buildings display detailed architectural elements. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of sepia and black. Figures in elaborate attire are gathered in the foreground, with more figures and receding buildings in the distance. The sky is lightly clouded.
