Claude Deruet and his Son, Jean is a 1632 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man in fancy 17th-century clothes with a long coat, ruffled collar, and boots. He stands tall, one hand outstretched, while a smaller boy in a hat and cloak leans on a stick beside him. Behind them, a town with buildings and people stretches out, framed by a curtain with a coat of arms. The man’s pose and the boy’s serious face feel posed for importance. The etching technique gives it a scratchy, detailed look—like lines drawn with a needle. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints this way.
