This sheet shows four small scenes framed like oval windows. The top left has a robed bishop holding a long staff, with children peeking from a barrel. Next to it, a shirtless man raises his arms while two armored figures stand nearby. The bottom left shows a soldier holding a flag and a bishop at an altar. The last scene has a woman in flowing robes standing on a wave, with a dragon below. These images are etched into paper, not painted. The lines are sharp and detailed, with shadows and textures that make the scenes pop. The artist used a technique that lets them play with light and dark areas. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these prints.
