Noble Woman Wearing a Veil and a Dress Trimmed in Fur

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a person in full length standing in profile facing right. The person wears an elaborate headpiece covering their hair, and their facial features are delicately drawn. They are dressed in a long cloak with intricate detailing and a large muff covering their hands. The cloak seems to be lined or trimmed with fur at the bottom. In the background, there is a bustling town with various buildings, some with steeples, and miniature depictions of people and animals. The drawing is bordered, framing the central figure and the scene behind.
