Embarkation at Genoa

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays seven individuals in historic attire standing near the water. The central figure, facing left, extends their right hand forward. They are wearing an ornate gown with a ruff around their neck. Surrounding them are six other individuals, also in historical clothing. Some hold objects, with one holding a scroll. The background shows the sea with waves, boats, and a fortress-like structure in the distance under a cloudy sky.
