Lady with Large Plumes, and Two Gentlemen is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people in fancy old clothes. The woman in the middle wears a big, puffy wig and a loose dress. The two men have tall hats and wide sleeves, one holding something in his left hand. The lines are simple and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist used a technique that lets them scratch into metal plates to make the lines. This was common in the 1600s. Check out the technique: etching to see how artists made prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
