Pietro Soderini is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man slumped in bed, surrounded by two figures in fancy clothes. One figure holds a tall hat, while the other leans in, holding a small object. A third person stands nearby, looking down. The room has a heavy curtain and a window with bars. The man at the table sits with a plate and cup, looking tired. The text at the bottom is in Italian, dedicated to Pietro Soderini. It suggests the scene might be about healing or recovery.
