Duellist with Two Sabers is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man in mid-motion, lunging forward with two swords gripped tightly in his hands. His body is twisted, one leg bent at the knee, and his face is tense with focus. The clothes cling to his form, showing every muscle straining under the fabric. The artist used sharp, quick lines to make the figure look alive and urgent. The background is nearly blank, so all your attention stays on the action. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
