Noble Woman with Large Collar is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a woman in fancy clothes. She wears a big, ruffled collar, a tight-fitting jacket with puffy sleeves, and a long skirt with swirling patterns. One hand rests on her hip, and the other holds a fan. In the background, there’s a small town with buildings, trees, and a few people walking around. The artist used lines to create texture, especially in the fabric and her hair. This style was common in etchings, where ink is pressed into a metal plate. Look up etching next to see how artists like this made prints.
