Lust is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a barefoot figure holding a bird on one hand and a scroll in the other. A goat with twisted horns stands beside them, and the figure wears a loose, draped cloth. Their head is crowned with vines, and the word "Luxuria" is written below. The figure looks like a personification of a trait—likely excess or desire—common in old stories. The bird and goat add strange, symbolic touches. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
