Officer, with Arm Extended, Front View

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-length figures standing side by side. Both are facing forward, with their right arm extended outward and slightly upward. Their faces have pronounced mustaches, and they have curly hair peeking out from under their caps. Each wears a long, buttoned coat with knee-length trousers tucked into boots that rise to just below the knee. The figures are not holding any objects, and the background is a simple, unadorned texture.
