Lady with String Instrument, 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 holds a small stringed instrument, like a violin, and wears a fancy hat. The two men beside her also have tall hats and carry swords at their sides. Their outfits look stiff and formal, with lots of lines and folds. The woman’s skirt flares out as she moves, giving the scene a lively feel. The whole drawing is made with sharp, quick lines—no color, just black and white. 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.
