Peasant with Sack

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an elderly man standing sideways in a natural landscape. He is facing right, holding a walking stick in his left hand and a bag in his right hand. The man has a long, bushy beard and a somewhat somber expression. He is wearing a brimmed hat, a long coat with a broad collar, and flowing clothing. The background includes rocky terrain with sparse vegetation. A small dog is seen on a ledge behind him. The trees and ground are illustrated with fine line work.
