Two Seated Figures

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features two full-length figures seated. The person on the left is sitting on a chair with their body turned to the side, arms resting on the back of the chair. They have short hair with a small curl sticking out from under a feathered hat, wearing a robe-like garment with a striped texture, high boots, and one leg crossed over the other. They are holding a long, thin object that rests on the ground. The person on the right is seated on a block or ledge, wearing a hat that casts a shadow on their face, a long cape, and one leg crossed over the other. Their hands are resting on their knee. The background is plain and undecorated, focusing on the seated individuals.
