Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a man walking in the foreground. He is shown in a side profile with one leg forward. He has exaggerated facial features, a hat with a feather, and is wearing a fur-trimmed coat and large boots. He is holding a sword at his side. The background shows a lively urban scene with buildings, trees, people, and a horse-drawn carriage.
