The Vulture

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bird on a branch, with a low horizon and outlined distant foliage and landforms. The style consists of fine, linear strokes on cream-colored paper with limited color contrast. Two trees frame the composition with surrounding branches. More distant trees and landforms are faintly visible on the horizon, adding depth to the image.
