Man Scraping a Grill

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a strange figure playing a musical instrument. The figure has exaggerated features, such as an elongated nose, a hunchback, and irregular limbs. The character is dressed in a simple garment and appears to be energetically playing the instrument. The instrument is fantastical with pendulum-like elements hanging from it. The drawing has bold and well-defined lines, and the background is plain.
