The Little Trellis is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a busy outdoor gathering. People sit at tables under a trellis, while others walk or stand around. In the background, there’s a small building with a tower, and a big tree shades part of the scene. Notice how the artist used fine lines to show every detail—even the folds in clothes and leaves. This isn’t a painting but a print, made by scratching into metal. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this created sharp, precise images.
