Two Women in Profile is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts two women in profile, facing each other. The woman on the left wears a hat adorned with a feather and a long dress with a cloak draped over her shoulders. The woman on the right is dressed in a simpler outfit, with a hat and a cloak. The two women are shown in a simple, unadorned setting, with no background or other details visible. The etching is rendered in fine lines and delicate shading, giving the image a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. For more on the artist's use of etching, look up Callot, Jacques.
