Gentleman with Cane

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features two mirrored profiles of a figure in a fencing pose. The figure is depicted with one leg forward, one leg extended behind, and holding a sword. The face is stylized and wears a hat with a feather, with no detailed depiction of hair. The figure is dressed in a fur-trimmed cape, knee-length breeches, and elaborately detailed sleeves. The background is plain with a border framing the figures.
