Pantalone is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a tall, hunched man in baggy clothes, leaning on a cane. His face is wrinkled, with a long beard and a hat pulled low. Behind him, a busy street scene unfolds with people walking and a crowd gathered near a building. The artist used sharp lines to exaggerate the man’s odd posture and wrinkles, making him look comical. This style fits a type of drawing meant to mock or highlight human quirks. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists like this carved images into metal plates.
