The Two Pilgrims is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two scruffy pilgrims walking together. One carries a long staff with a bundle tied to it, while the other holds a staff topped with a cross. Both wear oversized hats, tattered robes, and look weary. Behind them, a small crowd gathers near a church, and a few buildings line the street. The artist used sharp lines to show their rough clothing and tired faces. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, check out the technique: etching.
