St. Apollonia; St. Guillaume; St. Scholastica; St. Saturnin is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet shows four small, oval scenes with black-and-white figures. Each person stands alone, dressed in old-fashioned robes or armor, holding objects like a book or a palm branch. The backgrounds are simple: a few buildings, a cross, or a crowd in the distance. The text around each scene names them as saints, with "FEB." marking them for February. The lines are sharp and detailed, almost like a sketch. These images were made using a printing method that lets artists draw directly onto metal plates. The artist signed them but didn’t color them in. Look up etching to see how these images were made.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
