The Promenade

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures walking hand in hand towards an open space. They are a man and a woman. The man is dressed in period attire with a hat and a stick or sword, while the woman wears a long dress and a feathered hat. A large tree with thick branches is on the left, framing the couple. In the distance, there are buildings and possibly a church spire. The image is created using fine lines in a monochromatic palette of black ink on a light background.
