The Fair at Impruneta is a 1620 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a busy outdoor fair packed with people. There are tents, stalls, and a crowd walking around. In the background, a church and a bell tower stand on a hill. Trees and hills frame the scene, and the sky looks cloudy. Some people are riding in carts, while others stand or walk. Notice how the artist used fine lines to show every detail, from the folds in clothes to the faces in the crowd. This was done with a technique called etching. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these sharp, precise prints.
