Noble Man with Folded Hands is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a tall, thin man in fancy clothes walking down a street. His big hat casts a shadow over his face, and he holds his cloak with one hand. Behind him, a crowd of smaller figures walks, and buildings line the background. The artist used sharp lines to show the folds in his cloak and the texture of his boots. This style makes the man look almost like a puppet. Next, look up *etching* to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
