The Hooded Cripple is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a hooded figure with a hunchback, leaning on a cane. The figure is dressed in a long robe and has a large hood covering its head, with only its face visible. The face is contorted in a grimace, with the mouth open and the eyes looking downward. The background of the image is a light beige color, with some darker shading around the edges. The overall effect is one of sadness and despair, as if the figure is struggling to cope with its physical disability. This image is reminiscent of the work of artist Jacques Callot, known for his detailed and expressive etchings.
