About this work

You see seven saints standing in a row on a blank background. Their halos glow faintly. Each saint wears different robes and holds a book or staff. Jacques Callot carved this print by scratching lines into metal with acid. The lines are fine and precise. The saints look flat but still stand out. Callot often made prints like this.
