The Feast of the Pharisees is a 1618 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows five people sitting around a table, eating and drinking. The men wear loose clothes and hats, while the women have fancy hair and dresses. The table is covered with plates, cups, and food, and there’s a dog under the table. Sunlight streams in from the top left corner, lighting up the scene. The artist used a sharp, scratchy style to show the details of their clothes and faces. This kind of drawing was made by carving into a metal plate, then pressing paper onto it. Next, check out the technique: etching.
