Gentleman in Large Mantle, Front View is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in fancy old-fashioned clothes. One wears a big cloak draped over his shoulders, holding a cane. The other stands with a wide, striped skirt-like coat, also holding a stick. Both have tall, feathered hats and look like they’re posing for a quick drawing. The lines are scratchy and precise, made by etching into metal. This style was common in the early 1600s for quick, detailed sketches. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made these sharp, textured prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
