Gentleman Viewed from the Side

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body, side-by-side views of a person in an elaborate outfit. The person is positioned as if walking or posing with arms close to their body. The facial features are minimally detailed, and the hair is tucked beneath a feathered hat. They wear a textured cape with a furry edge and pants cinched at the knee. The feet are covered by pointed shoes. The person appears to be holding a small rod or cane. The background is a plain, light-hued surface with a thin border framing the scene.
