The Promenade is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two people walking near a tree and a body of water. The man wears a hat and loose clothes, carrying a walking stick. The woman has a long dress and a fancy hat with feathers. In the background, you can see a distant town with buildings and a riverbank. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene look detailed even without color. The way they drew the tree and water shows how they played with light and form. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with acid and metal plates.
