Noble Woman Wearing a Veil and a Dress Trimmed in Fur

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in full-body profile view facing right while holding a large textured object in front of them. Their facial features are detailed, with a serene expression, wearing a cap over short hair. They are dressed in a voluminous robe with fur trim and a long veil draped over their head and back, standing in front of quaint buildings and a church with a steeple. Groups of people are seen in the background walking along paths on either side of the person.
