Embarkation at Genoa

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows nine people on an outdoor wooden platform or dock with a nautical backdrop. In the center, a figure wearing an ornate gown with a high pleated collar stands, holding hands with another person. Other individuals in elaborate attire are gathered closely, with distinct hairstyles. The background includes faint outlines of buildings, water, and a boat with oarsmen under a slightly clouded sky.
