Lady Seen from Behind, and Two Gentlemen is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people walking in a line. The woman in the middle wears a long, flowing dress and stands still, facing away. The two men on either side have big hats, fancy coats, and one holds a walking stick while the other carries a hat in his hand. The artist used a simple line style to draw them, with no color—just black on light paper. The text at the bottom reads *"Cum Privilege Reg Israel excudit"*, which might hint at a royal or official approval. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
