Soldier with Feathered Hat is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a soldier in a big feathered hat, standing sideways with one foot slightly forward. His outfit is bulky—long sleeves, a belt, and stockings rolled over his boots. In the background, tiny figures on horseback seem to be riding away from a battle or chase. The artist used sharp lines to show the soldier’s stiff pose and wrinkled clothes. The background looks rushed, like a quick sketch of action. Check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
