The Potbellied Man with the Tall Hat

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a short-statured figure walking or leaning forward. The figure has a large head with exaggerated facial features, long wavy hair flowing from under a large hat with feathers, a loosely fitting jacket, skirt-like garment, simple shoes, and is holding a cane in the left hand and resting the right hand on the hip. The background is plain with a simple line suggestive of the ground.
