St. Calixtus; St. Hedwiges; Sts. Martinian and Saturian; St. Florentinus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval scenes etched into paper. The top left depicts a man being lowered from a window into a basket. The top right shows a woman in a chair with people around her. The bottom left has two robed men standing together, and the bottom right shows a bishop-like figure handing something to a kneeling man. Each scene is labeled with names like "St. Calixtus" and "St. Hedwiges," suggesting religious stories. The lines are precise and dark, typical of etchings. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot created these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
