Drill with the Musket is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three men in old-fashioned soldier uniforms. They’re marching in a line, each holding a musket or a walking stick. The hats have big feathers, and their clothes look stiff and heavy. The background is just a plain, light-colored field with faint lines for ground. The artist used a sharp, scratchy style—like quick, sketchy lines that feel almost drawn by hand. The paper has a textured look, too, which makes it feel old. Next, check out how this was made using the technique: etching.
