Entry of M. de Macey is a 1627 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a row of small, stick-figure people marching in a line. Some carry swords, others hold drums or flags. Their clothes look old-fashioned—big hats, fancy coats, and boots. The scene is simple: a flat background with no depth, just the figures moving forward. The title at the top reads *"Entrée de Monseigneur de Macey"*, meaning this is likely a parade for someone important. The artist used sharp lines to make the figures look lively, even though they’re tiny. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
