Gentleman Wrapped in his Mantle

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures wearing elaborate costumes. The drawing features two stylized figures, both adorned in exaggerated, theatrical outfits with wide-brimmed hats decorated with feathers, luxurious cloaks with fringed edges, and elaborate garters on their breeches. The figures are sketched in a manner that emphasizes their elegant stance, exuding a sense of flamboyance and theatricality. They are positioned side by side within a rectangular frame that encloses the composition.
