Mariotto di Martino is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving on laid paper depicts a scene with several figures. In the foreground, a man is shown with his hands tied behind his back, while another figure is seated at a table. The background features an arched doorway and a window, adding depth to the composition. A notable detail in the image is the use of cross-hatching, a technique that creates texture and shading through closely spaced parallel lines. This technique adds depth and dimension to the engraving. To learn more about the artist's use of cross-hatching, look up the technique.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
