Scaramucia and Fricasso is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in the middle of a sword fight. One is on the left, lunging forward with a sword, while the other on the right is twisted mid-kick, also holding a sword. Both wear big hats and loose clothes, and the ground looks muddy. The background has small groups of people watching, some holding sticks or swords too. The scene feels chaotic but controlled, like a staged performance. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
