The Crucifixion is a 1610 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man on a cross. His body is stretched out, arms nailed wide. The background looks like rough wood or stone, with two small figures at the top corners. The artist used lots of tiny lines to show shadows and muscle. This makes the body look real and tired. It’s not painted—it’s carved into the paper with metal. Want to see how this style works? Look up engraving.
