Gluttony is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a woman pouring wine into a glass while standing on a pig. She’s dressed in flowing robes and holds a big jug in one hand. Behind her head, vines sprout like hair, and her face looks serious but a little wild. The name "Gula" is written below—it’s Latin for *gluttony*, a vice personified. The pig under her feet isn’t just decoration; it’s a symbol for waste and overindulgence. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot carved this image into metal plates.
