About this work

This set of four etchings shows religious scenes in oval frames. The top left depicts a bishop with a group of people, while the top right shows a woman holding a palm branch. The bottom left has a woman kneeling by a tomb, and the bottom right shows a crowd outside a building with a dome. These images are part of a series about saints. The artist used fine lines to create detailed textures, like fabric and stone. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these sharp prints.
