Noble Man with Fur Plastron is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a man dressed in a lavish fur-trimmed coat and hat, grasping a sword in his right hand. The man stands confidently, facing left, with his head turned towards the viewer. In the background, a bustling scene unfolds, featuring buildings and people engaged in various activities. A notable detail is the man's attire, which suggests a high social status. The intricate folds of his clothing and the ornate design of his sword hilt add to the overall sense of opulence. This artwork is reminiscent of the style of Jacques Callot, a master of etching during the Baroque period.
