Peasant Woman, in Profile, Facing Right, with Arm Extended is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows two people standing in a field. One wears a long, flowing dress and a headscarf, arms outstretched. The other has a loose tunic and bare feet, also with arms wide open. In the background, a few sheep and goats graze near some bushes and a small stream. The artist used sharp lines to show the way their clothes move with their bodies. This style was common in etchings, where the artist scratches into metal plates to create the image.
