Taglia Cantoni and Fracasso is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two big men fighting with swords. They wear fancy hats with feathers and loose clothes. One holds a sword high, the other blocks it with his own blade. The background has small figures watching, like a crowd at a show. The names "Taglia Cantoni" and "Fracasso" are written below—maybe these are the fighters’ nicknames.
