The Feast of the Pharisees is a 1618 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows five figures sitting around a table, sharing a meal. Two people on the right have halos, while the others don’t. The table is covered with a cloth, and there’s a plate, a glass, and some food in front of them. Sunlight rays burst from above, lighting up the scene. The artist used a sharp, sketchy style to show the characters’ expressions and clothing. The halos hint this might be a religious story, but the people look ordinary. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
