Noble Woman with Large Collar

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length illustration of a person standing in an upright position. The person's facial features are delicately etched, with a composed expression, and their hair is styled in a neat manner that frames the face and extends slightly past the ears. They are wearing an elaborate outfit typical of a historical style, featuring a full skirt with intricate patterns, a fitted bodice with puffed sleeves, and a large, detailed collar. The person appears to be holding a fan in one hand. In the background, there is a detailed scene depicting a landscape with several buildings, trees, and individuals engaging in various activities.
