The Nativity; St. Stephen; St. John; Holy Innocents is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four oval-shaped etchings arranged in two rows, each depicting a different scene. The top row features the Nativity on the left and St. Stephen on the right, while the bottom row shows St. John on the left and the Holy Innocents on the right. Each etching is set against a plain background with a thin border, and they are all dated December. The etchings are rendered in a detailed and expressive style, with intricate lines and shading that give them a sense of depth and texture. The scenes are also rich in symbolism, with each one conveying a powerful message or theme. If you're interested in learning more about this style of etching, you might want to explore the work of Callot, Jacques, a master of the medium.
