Man Moving Abruptly

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two individuals in full-body illustrations. Both individuals are turned to their left and appear to be in motion. They are in a forward-leaning position, with their arms bent slightly at the elbows and hands raised in front of them. Both individuals are wearing brimmed hats and cloaks that cover their upper bodies and extend to their calves. The first person has short facial hair and their hair is mostly hidden under the hat. The second person also has short facial hair and wears their hat similarly. Each is dressed in knee-length garments with loose, unbuttoned coats over them, and they are both wearing simple shoes. The attire has a historical or period-specific appearance. The background is plain, with a simple dark border outlining the image.
