Peasant Woman, in Profile, Facing Left

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

Two women are shown in profile, facing each other with their hands in front of them. They have elaborate hairstyles partially covered by headscarves or bonnets. Both women wear long-sleeved dresses with fitted bodices, full skirts, and aprons with small bundles attached. The background features a simple landscape with a few figures in the distance and a tree with bare branches.
