Man Scraping a Grill is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a man bent over, scraping a grill with a long tool. He's wearing a hat, a loose shirt, and pants, and has a bag slung over his shoulder. The man is shown in profile, with his face turned slightly towards the viewer. The image is detailed, with lots of lines and textures that give it a sense of depth and realism. The man's pose and expression suggest that he's concentrating hard on his task. The artist who created this image was Jacques Callot.
