Gentleman Viewed from the Front with Hand on Hip is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a sketch of a man in a hat and coat, with his hand on his hip. He is wearing a large hat with feathers, a long coat, and boots. The man is standing in a confident pose, with his weight shifted onto one leg. The sketch is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist has used a range of techniques to create texture and depth, including hatching and cross-hatching. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication.
