About this work

This etching shows five saints standing in a line. Each has a halo and holds a symbolic object. Their robes fold in sharp lines around their feet. Jacques Callot made this print around 1632. He used fine needles to scratch lines into metal, then filled them with ink. The style feels crisp and precise. Look up the artist Jacques Callot.
