The Bohemians Marching: The Rear Guard is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a group of people, some on horseback, others on foot, marching in a line. They are dressed in long robes and hats, and some carry weapons or staffs. The scene is set against a plain background, with no visible buildings or landscape. In the foreground, a figure on horseback holds a long spear, while another figure on foot carries a large bundle on their back. The group appears to be in motion, with some figures looking back over their shoulders. The etching is characteristic of the Baroque style, with its use of strong lines and dramatic lighting. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you might want to explore the work of Callot, Jacques.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
