St. Perpetuus; St. Mary of Cleophas; St. Ezechiel; St. Leo the Great is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small black-and-white scenes, each framed in an oval. The figures look like religious leaders—one holds a scroll, another stands on a rocky shore, and a third is surrounded by soldiers. The backgrounds are simple, with buildings and a few trees. Each scene is labeled with a name like "St. Perpetuus" or "St. Leo" and the word "April." The artist used sharp lines and shadows to create depth, which was a common trick in this style. These images were likely part of a series about saints. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
