Peasant with a Cup

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two identical line drawings of a full-body figure of a person standing in profile view, each positioned symmetrically on either side of the image. The person is shown wearing a brimmed hat and what appears to be a loose, long-sleeved shirt or jacket over baggy pants. The figure is holding a stick in one hand and a cylindrical object in the other. The facial features and hair of the figure are not detailed or distinguishable. The background is a plain, textured surface, with no additional elements or scenery, and the entire image is contained within a simple rectangular border.
