Pride (Vanity)

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in an elaborate pose, wearing historical fashion. They hold a mirror and an indistinct object, standing next to a detailed peacock with its tail fanned out. A small winged creature interacts with the scene above. The background is plain with a light, neutral tone. The word "Superbia" is written beneath the illustration.
