Peasant with Sack is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Peasant, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows an old man bent over a sack. His clothes are patched and worn. One hand grips the sack, the other steadies his walking stick. Callot made many prints like this. They show real people, not fancy nobles. His lines are scratchy but full of life. Check out more by Jacques Callot at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
