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 in her hand. The two men have tall hats and fancy coats, one carrying a rolled-up paper, the other a cane. The lines are sharp and dark, giving the scene a lively feel. The artist used a technique that lets ink stay in the grooves of the metal plate, creating this bold look. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
