Greed

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body depiction of an individual standing upright. The person has an elongated facial structure with a beard and wears a hooded garment. Their hair is not visible due to the hood. The clothing consists of a long robe with draped sleeves and a visible robe underneath. The individual is clutching onto a bundle or bag with both hands, and a small box or bag sits in front of them on the ground next to a larger sack. A formation atop their head resembles horns or twisting branches. The background is plain, with no distinct features. The word "Auaritia" is inscribed at the bottom.
