Noble Woman with a Small Hat is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a woman dressed in fancy clothes from long ago. She wears a tall, pointed hat and a long, dark coat with lace at the neckline. Her sleeves are puffy, and she holds a fan in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. Behind her, a simple town scene with buildings and people is sketched in lightly. The artist used fine lines to show the texture of her dress and the folds of her fabric. This style was common in etchings, where ink is pressed into a metal plate. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made detailed prints.
