St. Joseph; St. Joachim; St. Benedict, Abbot; St. Catharine of Sweden is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings of religious figures. Each scene is framed by a simple border, with the names "S. Joseph," "S. Joachim," "S. Benedict," and "S. Catharina" written above them. The figures are drawn in a loose, sketchy style, with some shading to show folds in their robes and halos around their heads. Notice how the artist used fine lines to create texture, like the folds in the clothing or the details in the background buildings. These etchings were made by pressing ink into lines carved into a metal plate. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
