Lust

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a nude figure draped in a cloth with one arm extended. The person is in a frontal position with their head turned slightly to the left. The figure has delicate facial features, an upturned hairstyle with ornamental details, an intricate hairstyle, and is wearing a necklace. They are partially covered by a fabric draped around the shoulders and lower body. A bird is perched on the outstretched hand, and a small winged creature is flying nearby. A goat stands beside the figure. The background is blank with the text "Luxuria" below the figure.
