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

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in an elaborate outfit with a hat, coat, fur lining, knee-high boots, and a straight sword, striking a dramatic pose. He faces left, with distinct facial features including a hooked nose and protruding chin. His hair flows beneath the hat, and he is set against a background of a town square with people, buildings, and animals.
