Sts. Nicostratus and Anthiocus; St. Julia; St. Desiderius; Sts. Susanna, Palladia, and Martiana is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Engraving Proces, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows seven saints standing in a row. The saints wear long robes and hold objects like books or palms. Their faces look calm, not fancy. Jacques Callot made this in France around 1633. He used etching and drypoint, scratching lines into metal plates. The lines look soft but sharp at the same time. See more of his prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
