Gentleman in Large Mantle, Front View is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two men in fancy old-time clothes. Both wear big hats with feathers and long coats. One man holds a cane, the other has a cape that flares out. Their outfits look stiff and detailed, with lots of folds in the fabric. The lines are sharp and scratchy, made by an etching tool. This technique lets artists draw directly onto a metal plate before printing. Next, look up etching to see how it works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
