Noble Man with Mantle Trimmed in Fur, Holding his Hands Behind his Back 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 heavy fur-lined cloak. His back is turned, hands tucked behind him, and he walks with a long stick in his right hand. In the background, a small town unfolds with people, horses, and simple buildings. The artist used sharp lines to show the fur’s texture and the man’s stiff posture. The scene feels crowded but orderly, like a stage set. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot carved into metal plates to make prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
