Man Wrapped in His Mantle is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a man wrapped in his mantle, with his back to the viewer. He wears a hat with a feather, and his right leg is slightly bent. The man's clothing is detailed, with folds in his cloak and a sash around his waist. His hat has a wide brim and a tall crown, and his shoes have a low heel. The etching is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. It is a good example of the work of Jacques Callot, a French artist known for his etchings. If you're interested in learning more about etching, you might want to look into the technique of drypoint.
