Noble Man Wrapped in a Mantle Trimmed with Fur is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a plump man in a big fur-lined cloak, standing sideways. His hat has a wide brim, and he’s holding a walking stick. Behind him, a tiny town sits by a river, with boats and buildings drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a technique that lets ink fill in the scratched lines—this creates the fur’s texture and the man’s heavy folds. The town in the background looks like a stage set, almost like a play. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
