Peasant Woman with Basket, in Profile, Facing Left is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two women standing side by side in a street scene. The one on the left wears a long, flowing dress with a basket on her arm, while the one on the right holds a basket on her hip. Behind them, a few people walk or ride horses along a path, and a building with a sloped roof sits in the background. Notice how the lines are sharp and detailed, especially in the folds of the clothing. The artist used a technique that lets them create fine, precise marks on the paper. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with acid and needles.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
