Saint Andrew

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing, carrying large cylindrical logs over his shoulder and in front of him. The man has long, wavy hair and a beard, wearing a long robe tied with a belt at the waist, and holding two fish by their tails in his hand. The background features an etching style with silhouettes of several people on a hillside, with one pointing at the main figure. There are also architectural elements, such as a building with a curved roof, and another group of people gathered nearby.
