Beggar with Dog is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a bent-over man in old clothes, leaning on a long stick. His hat is wide and floppy, and his coat hangs loose. At his feet sits a small, scruffy dog, looking up at him. The artist used sharp lines to show the folds in his clothes and the dog’s fur. This style makes everything look textured and alive. Next, look up etching to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
