Lady with Dress Gathered Up, and Two Gentlemen is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man on the left wears a big coat and a tall hat with feathers. The woman in the middle holds a fan and has her dress pulled up to show her shoes. The man on the right gestures with one hand while wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a coat with lots of folds. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with simple lines that focus on movement and clothing. The text at the bottom says something in Latin, but it’s not clear what it means. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
