Almshouse

Edouard Eckman after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a scene in what appears to be a courtyard or open space adjacent to a one-story building with arches and a roof extending forward. A man with a wide-brimmed hat gestures towards the scene. The brushstrokes are linear, resembling a woodcut or engraving style. The palette is monochromatic with varying tones of black against a beige canvas.
