Gilles is a 1720 ink by Louis Crépy, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting features a young man, possibly a jester or a fool, dressed in a long, loose-fitting shirt and pants. He is standing on a small platform, surrounded by trees and foliage. The image is rendered in a range of grays, with the man's clothing and the trees depicted in varying shades of gray. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the man's expression serene and introspective. The use of gray tones adds to the sense of calm, creating a soothing atmosphere.
