Violinist

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body illustrations of a person playing a violin in different positions. The individual has short wavy hair and wears a feathered hat. They are dressed in historical attire, including a puffed sleeve shirt, a waistcoat, knee-length drawers, stockings, and shoes with bows, as well as a cape. The individual is holding a violin on their shoulder with one hand and a bow with the other, positioned as if playing. The background is a plain, lightly textured backdrop.
