Noble Man with Folded Hands

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing in profile, facing left, with hands clasped in front at waist height. The person has distinct facial features, a pointed nose, pointed beard and mustache, and medium-length wavy hair. They wear an elaborate outfit with a wide-brimmed hat, fur-trimmed cloak, patterned vest, elaborate breeches, stockings, and patterned shoes. The background shows a detailed cityscape with buildings, an arched bridge over a canal, and small figures.
