Lady with Outstretched Arm, 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 in old-fashioned clothes. Two men in wide hats and baggy pants are pointing at a woman in a long dress. The woman’s back is to us, and she’s holding something small in her hand. The lines are simple but full of movement, like they’re dancing or performing. The text at the bottom says *"Cum Privilegio Regis Israel excudit,"* which means it was made with the king’s permission. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the metal plate, creating this image. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
