Two Women in Profile is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking side by side. The woman on the left wears a long, striped dress with a wide skirt and a fancy hat. The man on the right has a loose coat, a hat, and a cane. Both are drawn in simple lines against a plain background. The artist used a technique called etching, where lines are scratched into a metal plate. This method creates sharp, clean lines like the ones here. Check out more about etching to see how it works.
