St. Anthony; St. Prisca; St. Germanicus; Sts. Fabian and Sebastian is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet shows four black-and-white sketches of robed figures. Each person stands alone in an oval frame, holding objects like books or spears. Backgrounds include simple buildings or clouds, and the lines are sharp and detailed. The figures are labeled with names like *St. Anthony* and *St. Prisca*. These sketches were made using a printing method that carves lines into metal plates. Look up etching to see how artists create these precise, layered images.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
