Lady with Wine Bottle, and Two Gentlemen is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people standing side by side. The two men wear fancy hats, boots, and coats. One holds a cup and a sword. The woman in the middle carries a jug. All three look like they’re dressed for a special event. The text at the bottom says it was printed with permission. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch lines into metal, then ink filled them. That’s how the drawing got its dark, crisp look. Check out how this artist used etching to create such clear details.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
