Three Women, One Holding a Child is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three women standing side by side. The one on the left holds a bundle under her arm and leans on a stick. The middle woman cradles a child, and the right woman carries a basket. Their clothes are simple, with loose sleeves and long skirts. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture their shapes. The paper has a textured look, typical of old etchings.
