Hunchback Gazing at a Windmill

H. Numan after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body view of a figure facing away from the viewer. The person is standing in a slight profile with their body leaning towards the right and their head turned upwards to the left. The figure has voluminous, curly hair cascading down and wears an oversized, floppy hat. They are dressed in a large, puffy tunic with elongated sleeves, billowy pants, and laced shoes. A broad sword hangs from their waist. In the background, there is a rural scene with a small house and a windmill on a flat landscape.
