The Enrollment of the Troops

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image features three figures in a detailed sketch, each depicted from full body. The center person stands with their arm extended forward. This individual has mid-length, wavy hair and wears a textured outfit with knee-high trousers, a belted waist, a feathered accessory, and a sword. To the right, another person faces sideways and seems to be in motion. This figure wears a detailed costume with a feathered hat and intricate patterns on their attire. To the left, there is a partial depiction of a third person wearing elaborate clothing, including a coat with decorative buttons and a feathered hat. The background is plain.
