Signa. Lucia and Trastullo is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a huge, old-fashioned dress standing on a street. Her skirt is so wide it nearly touches the people walking by. Behind her, a man struggles to carry a giant bag or sack, while others in the background look on. The woman’s name is written below her—*Signa Lucia*—and the bag is labeled *Trastullo*. The scene looks like a joke about how heavy or awkward these fancy clothes and objects were. Want to know more? Check out etching to see how artists like this made prints.
