Taglia Cantoni and Fracasso is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in big, feathered hats dueling with swords in the middle of a street. One man wears a loose shirt and pants, while the other has a belted tunic. Around them, a small crowd watches from the sides, some standing, some sitting or leaning against buildings. The names "Taglia Cantoni" and "Fracasso" are written below, likely the fighters’ nicknames. The scene looks lively but rough, with exaggerated poses and sharp lines. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints.
