Gherardo is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a scene with four men, each wearing hats and holding swords. The man on the left is shown in profile, while the other three face forward. The background features a building with arches and a tower. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The scene appears to be set in a courtyard or plaza, with the building providing a sense of context and setting. The intricate details and shading in this engraving suggest a high level of skill and craftsmanship. For more information on this technique, look up "engraving".
