The Assumption of the Virgin is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Resurrection of Jesus, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows the Virgin Mary rising to heaven. It's an etching, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design into a metal plate. The details in this etching are pretty intricate, and it's interesting to see how the artist used lines and shading to create depth. You can learn more about this technique by looking into etching.
