Saint Andrew is a 1631 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A bearded man in a long robe stands holding two giant scrolls, one under each arm. His hair is wild, and he looks serious. Behind him, a crowd gathers near a building, while two smaller figures in the distance seem to be arguing or gesturing. This is an etching, which means the artist carved the design into a metal plate instead of painting it. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing how skilled Callot was. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
