1627
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Entry of Monseigneur Henry de Lorraine, Marquis de Moy, under the Name of Pirandre is a 1627 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a swan standing on one leg in shallow water. Its neck is stretched up, and its wings are slightly open. Above it, fancy handwriting reads *"Entrée de Monseigneur Henry de Lorraine"*—meaning it’s likely a symbol for someone important. The swan looks calm but also a little stiff, like it’s posing for a portrait. The artist used sharp lines to show the feathers and water, making it look detailed even though it’s just ink. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with acid and metal plates.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
