St. Christina; St. James, Apostle, and St. Christopher; St. Anne; Seven Sleepers of Ephesus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small scenes framed in ovals. The top left depicts a woman pointing at a man on the ground while another figure watches. The top right shows two robed figures, one holding a staff, standing side by side. The bottom left has a woman with a child in a doorway, and the bottom right shows a group of people sleeping near a cave with others gathered outside. Each scene is drawn with fine lines and shading, giving a sense of movement and emotion. The artist used a technique that captures light and shadow well, making the figures stand out against the background. Next, look up etching to see how this method works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
