Peasant Woman with Basket, in Profile, Facing Right is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this etching, a woman is depicted in profile, facing right. She is dressed in a long skirt and a blouse with a collar, and her hair is pulled back. She holds a basket in her left arm and appears to be walking. The woman's attire and the basket she carries suggest that she is a peasant, engaged in daily activities. The etching is rendered in fine detail, with intricate lines and shading that create a sense of depth and texture. This etching is a characteristic example of the Baroque movement, which emphasized dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
