Gentleman with Cane 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. They’re holding long sticks—one looks like a cane, the other a sword. The outfits have big, fluffy sleeves and tall hats with feathers. The lines are simple but full of movement, like they’re walking or posing. The artist used a sharp, scratchy method to make the lines pop. It’s not smooth like paint—more like scratching into the surface. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
