One-Eyed Woman

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright from head to toe. The person is holding a walking stick with their right hand and resting their left hand inside a furry muff. The person's face appears elderly, with a prominent nose and visible age lines. They wear a headscarf covering their hair. The attire consists of a long coat or robe with voluminous sleeves, tied at the waist with a sash. Detailed stitching is visible along the front and sleeves of the robe. Shoes are visible beneath the robe. The background is plain, allowing focus on the figure.
