The Gardener is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Renaissance work, depicting Garden, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man tending to a garden. He's digging and planting with simple tools. The image is detailed and quiet, with the gardener focused on his work. The gardener's clothes and the garden itself give us a glimpse of everyday life. This was a common scene in the 17th century, and the artist likely drew from real life.
