Saint Matthew is a 1631 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a robed figure from behind, walking away. The person’s long cloak is drawn with tight, crisscrossing lines, and they hold a scroll in one hand. In the background, a few small groups of people stand near buildings and trees, but the focus stays on the figure’s back. The artist used sharp, repeated lines to make the fabric look heavy and textured. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
