Peasant with Hat in Hand

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length figures of men standing side by side, both facing to the right. Both men are in a slight forward-leaning position with one arm extended forward and the other bent. They have bearded faces with prominent noses, and their hair is short or closely cropped. Both men are dressed in long coats that extend past the waist and into knee-length pants, and they are wearing similarly styled shoes. The men appear to be holding an object in their extended hands. The background is plain, emphasizing the figures and their actions. The image is bordered by a thin line, giving the scene a framed appearance.
