About this work

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.
