Elevations of the Holy Manger and the Sepulchre of Rachel is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two simple building sketches side by side. One looks like a small shrine with a flat roof and a few steps, marked with numbers and labels. The other is a round-arched structure with a dome on top, drawn in a similar style. Both are drawn in black lines on plain paper, with no color. The notes next to the drawings name parts like "sepulchre" and "poggio," hinting at religious sites. The artist used fine lines to show details like steps and arches. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
