Peasant with Hat in Hand is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two older men walking side by side. They’re dressed in loose, simple clothes—one in a striped coat, the other in a plain jacket—and both wear wide-brimmed hats. Their faces are wrinkled, with open mouths like they’re shouting or gasping. One man holds a bag or bundle in his left hand, while the other’s right hand rests on his hip. The lines are rough and scratchy, giving the whole scene a jagged, urgent feel. The paper looks old, with tiny dots scattered across it. Next, check out how this was made using the technique: etching.
