Sun Rising is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet waterfront with a few small buildings and towers along the shore. The water is calm, with gentle waves lapping at the edge. Above, the sky is mostly clear, except for two bright suns—one low on the horizon, the other high and radiating sharp lines. The artist used simple lines to create light and movement, especially in the suns. This was done using a technique called etching. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
