Two Seated Figures is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Sitting, held at National Gallery of Art.
Jacques Callot made this dark etching with two men sitting close together. Their hats hide their faces. One holds a glass. The other rests his hand on a table. The shadows feel heavy. Callot used fine lines to show light and dark. This style is called etching. He scratched the metal plate with acid to create these lines. This work shows how people sit and rest.
