Two Pantaloons Dancing is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two hunched-over men dancing side by side. They wear baggy clothes, feathered hats, and look like they’re struggling to move. One holds a cane, the other a rolled-up paper, and both have exaggerated, almost comical faces. The lines are sharp and scratchy, giving the scene a rough, lively feel. This style was common in the Baroque period, where artists often used drama and movement in their work. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
