The Huntress is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman standing in a landscape, holding a spear in her right hand. She is dressed in a long robe and has a dog by her side. In the background, there are trees, hills, and a fence, with several dogs running in front of it. The woman appears to be a huntress, and the scene suggests a sense of action and movement. The use of etching on laid paper creates a detailed and textured image. This painting is a great example of the Renaissance style, and it would be interesting to explore more works by the artist, Jacques Callot.
