Two Turks is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts two men in long, flowing robes, their faces turned away from the viewer. The figure on the left stands with his hands on his hips, while the one on the right has his back to the viewer. Both men wear turbans adorned with long feathers. The men's robes are intricately detailed, with folds and creases that suggest a sense of movement and texture. The background of the etching is minimal, with only a few lines suggesting a landscape or setting. The level of detail and realism in this etching is characteristic of the Baroque movement.
