St. Wenceslas; St. Michael, Archangel; The Guardian Angel; St. Jerome is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image showcases four oval etchings, each depicting a different scene. The top left etching features a man on horseback, while the top right etching shows an angel standing over a dragon. The bottom left etching depicts an angel guiding a man, and the bottom right etching shows a man kneeling in front of a cross. The etchings are rendered in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and shading that add depth and texture to the scenes. The use of oval shapes and the arrangement of the etchings create a sense of balance and harmony. The artist's use of etching as a medium adds a level of sophistication and elegance to the work.
