Man Wrapped in His Mantle is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows two men standing side by side, both wrapped in heavy capes that cover their heads. Their clothes look old-fashioned, with big sleeves and high collars. One man leans slightly forward, while the other stands straight but looks awkward, with one foot raised. The lines are scratchy and detailed, almost like they were drawn with a sharp tool. This style makes the fabric look thick and textured. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
