Il Solimano, Act II is a 1620 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a grand stage set with two tall buildings framing a crowd. In the center, a group of people in fancy clothes stands on a platform, while others below watch or move around. The buildings have statues on top and columns, and the whole scene looks like a theater stage. The tiny figures at the front seem to be actors—some hold props like a crown and a scroll. The words *Rus.*, *Sol.*, and *Reg.* might label their roles. Next, check out how etching works to see how artists like Callot made these sharp lines.
