St. Ursula and Companions; St. Mary Salome; St. Severinus; St. Maglorius is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings of religious saints. Each scene is framed with a simple border and labeled with names like *St. Ursula* and *St. Severinus*. The figures are drawn in bold lines, with some holding crosses or books, and others appearing in moments of prayer or action. The background is minimal, focusing on the figures themselves. Notice how the artist uses shading and cross-hatching to create depth, even though the scenes are simple. The lines are precise, and the figures look almost like they’re carved from shadow. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid and metal plates to make prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
