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 man in a wide-brimmed hat and a long, patterned coat. His hands are tucked inside his sleeves, and he stands stiffly on a street corner. Behind him, a busy cityscape unfolds with buildings, people walking, and horses in the distance. Notice how the artist used sharp lines to show the folds in his coat and the texture of his hat. The background is simpler, almost like a stage set. This is made using the technique: etching.
