St. David, King and Prophet; Sts. Sabinus and Venustianus; St. Sylvester; St. Colomba is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small oval scenes, each framed like a window. The top left has a robed figure holding a book, standing in front of a building. The top right shows two men in old-fashioned clothes, one pointing while another looks back. The bottom left depicts a bishop-like figure baptizing a child in a basin. The bottom right has a woman holding a staff, with a small dog and a child near her. These prints use simple lines and shading to tell stories. The artist signed them with a "C" and added Latin labels above each scene. The paper has a textured look, typical of the time. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
