The Flageolet Player is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You're looking at a black-and-white etching of a man playing a flageolet. He's wearing a hat, a shirt, and pants, and he's holding the instrument to his mouth. The man is standing with his legs apart, and his body is turned slightly to the side. The man's facial expression is somewhat serious, and his eyes are cast downward. The background of the etching is plain, with no visible details or textures. The overall effect is one of simplicity and focus on the musician. This etching is a great example of the Baroque movement.
