Fisher of Men is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a scene from the Bible, with Jesus standing in a boat, surrounded by people on the shore. He is shown calling his disciples, who are fishermen, to follow him. The scene is set against a backdrop of water and mountains, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The etching is done in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. The use of shading and contrast adds to the overall sense of drama and emotion in the scene. For more information on the artist's use of etching techniques, look up "etching".
