Gentleman in Large Mantle, Seen from Behind is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men walking away from us, dressed in long, striped coats with wide sleeves and tall hats. Their legs are crossed at the ankles, and they each hold a cane. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketch. The artist used shading to show the folds in the fabric, making the coats look heavy. The paper has a textured look, typical of old prints. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
