Two Pantaloons Dancing is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two strange, skinny men dancing side by side. They’re wearing baggy pants, pointy hats with feathers, and big, awkward shoes. One has a sack slung over his shoulder, and both look like they’re mid-step, arms swinging. The lines are scratchy and uneven, which makes the figures look a little rough. This style was common in etchings, where the artist scratches into a metal plate before printing. Want to see more like this? Try looking up etching.
