Sts. Faustinus and Jovita; St. Juliana; St. Onesimus; St. Policronius is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small scenes carved into a single plate. Each scene is framed like a window, with people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. One picture has an angel with wings, another shows a woman at a doorway, a third has a group around a building, and the last shows three men with one raising his arms. These images are all religious stories about saints. The artist used sharp lines and shadows to make the scenes feel dramatic. The paper has a textured look, like old book pages.
