Two Hearts

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features two large rectangular pedestals or altars. The one on the left is topped by a flaming heart, while the one on the right holds a pair of shackles or handcuffs. The illustration is monochromatic, using varying shades of brown and tan to give it an aged appearance. In the background, a small building or structure can be seen in the distance, centered between the two pedestals. The scene is set against a plain horizon, and the pedestals occupy the front foreground of the image.
