Man with Big Belly is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a round-faced man with a big belly, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and striped clothes. He’s holding a long stick and looks like he’s walking or balancing something. His face is smiling but also a little grumpy, and he’s blowing bubbles from his mouth. The lines are all scratchy and precise, typical of etchings. This style was used to make lots of copies of the same image back then. Next, look up technique: etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
