The Review is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a big battle scene packed with tiny soldiers. Some ride horses, others march in lines. Cannons point toward groups of people on hills. In the front, a man on a horse stands out—he’s bigger and looks important. The background has ships and more troops. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch lines into metal. This made the ink stick where pressed down, creating the image. The messy, crowded look fits the chaos of war. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
