The Cured Sick Person is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a crowd around a sick man standing up. A doctor checks his pulse while others watch. They look relieved. Jacques Callot made this in 1619. It comes from a series about how plague doctors treated people. The sick man wears a long coat and holds a stick. This print uses fine lines and shadows called engraving, cross-hatching.
