Lady in a Large Coat is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two women in long, flowing coats with wide sleeves. Their dresses have thick folds and ruffles at the wrists. Both wear tall, wide-brimmed hats and stand sideways, arms slightly out. The lines are dark and precise, with no color—just black and white. The artist used a technique that lets ink fill the scratched lines, creating a sharp, detailed look. This kind of drawing was often used for fashion or quick studies. Check out how the artist used etching to make these lines.
