Peasant Woman, in Profile, Facing Right, with Arm Extended

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two full-body portrayals of the same person in profile, facing to the right. The individual is depicted in motion with arms outstretched forward. They have a straight nose, hair styled or covered with a headscarf, and wear a long-sleeved knee-length coat over a draped layered skirt or gown. The individual's shoes are flat with a simple design. In the background, there are cows, some standing and others reclining on the ground, along with sparse foliage and trees.
