Pantalone is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a tall, skinny man in old-fashioned clothes. His hat is slanted, and his long coat flutters as he walks. Behind him, a crowd gathers on a street with buildings and balconies, while a smaller scene in the corner shows people carrying a stretcher. The artist used sharp lines to make the figure look exaggerated and funny. This style was common in the 1600s to poke fun at everyday people. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
