The Envoy of Tuscany thanking the Queen [verso]

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several figures wearing period clothing. A central seated figure is facing right, wearing a large ruffled collar and a voluminous dress with detailed sleeves. To their left, a standing figure with a ruffled collar is gesturing towards the group on the right. Another figure on the right is standing and holding a document, addressing the seated figure. Additional figures in period attire with ruffled collars and puffed sleeves are positioned at varying angles in the background. The setting seems to be indoors, with a textured pattern on the wall or drapery and a step leading to the seated figure's position.
