Gentleman and His Page is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in old-fashioned clothes. The one on the left wears a long coat, knee-high boots, and a wide-brimmed hat, holding a cane and a feathered hat in his other hand. The man on the right is turned away, carrying a bundle over his shoulder. Both look like they’re walking, but their poses are stiff and a little awkward. The lines are scratchy and detailed, almost like they were drawn with a sharp tool. This style makes the clothes and hats look textured, even though there’s no color. If you like this kind of drawing, check out etching to see how artists use acid and needles to create these kinds of lines.
