Peasant Couple with Cow is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a tired-looking man leaning on a stick, standing next to a plump cow. A woman kneels beside him, holding a baby while another child clings to her leg. In the background, a flock of sheep grazes under a tree with bare branches. The artist used sharp lines to show the rough texture of the clothes and the cow’s fur. The scene looks simple but tells a story about hard work. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
