The Bohemians Marching: The Rear Guard is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this etching, a group of people are shown marching in a line. They are dressed in various outfits, some wearing hats and carrying sticks or other objects. The group is led by a figure on horseback, who is holding a long stick or spear. The scene appears to be set in a rural or countryside area, with a few trees and hills visible in the background. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of movement and energy, as if the group is on a journey or mission. This etching is an example of Baroque art, characterized by its detailed and intricate style.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
