Discovery of the Criminal Soldiers is a 1633 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a scene of soldiers being discovered. It's an etching, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design onto a metal plate. This process allows for a lot of detail and texture. The scene is quite dramatic, with many figures and a sense of tension. You can learn more about this technique by looking into "etching".
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
