Noah's Ark is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a wooden ship with a peaked roof, floating on choppy water. The waves are drawn with quick, wavy lines, making the sea look rough. Above the ship, a bird flies near a small, leafless tree. The artist used a scratchy, precise style to show the wood and water. This kind of drawing is made by etching into metal plates. Next, look up etching to see how artists create these detailed lines.
