Antonia is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a small room with three people and a shrine in the background. The kneeling woman on the left points upward while holding a book. A standing woman in the center, dressed in a long robe, reaches toward a floating figure above a small altar. To the right, another woman in a hooded cloak kneels with her hands clasped. The altar holds a framed picture of a holy figure, surrounded by candles and small statues. The text below reads in Italian about a woman named Antonia being healed instantly.

Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
