The Tulips and the Sun is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white etching showing a person kneeling in a garden. They’re holding a large bunch of tulips, their head bowed. The sun shines brightly above, with rays spreading out like a fan. In the background, a few more tulips grow near a low wall, and a bird perches on the ground. The artist used lines and shading to create depth, making the light feel almost real. This style was popular in the 1600s. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
