Peasant Woman with Basket, in Profile, Facing Left

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two women standing side by side in profile, facing right. Both are holding baskets in front of them. They have their hair styled up and wear head coverings, long dresses, and aprons. Details of their faces are not shown. In the background are small figures of people, some riding horses, and a building with hanging signs. The scene suggests a street setting with simple line work characteristic of a sketch or etching.
