Lady with Plumed Hat, 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. The woman in the middle wears a big hat with feathers and holds something small, like a fan. The two men on either side have tall hats and look like they’re walking or standing still. Their outfits are loose and fancy, with big sleeves and boots. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch lines into the metal plate, then pressed paper onto it. That’s how the dark lines appear on the light background—it’s called *etching*. Look up etching to see how artists make prints this way.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
