Cap. Cerimonia and Siga. Lavinia is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a man and woman walking side by side in fancy clothes. The man holds a flag, and the woman wears a tall hat with feathers. Around them, a crowd of smaller figures walks or stands in a street lined with buildings. The artist used a sharp, sketchy style to show movement and detail. Notice how the lines create shadows and texture—this is how the artist built up the image. Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints using acid and metal plates.
