Two Zanni is a 1616 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two wild-looking men with horns and wild hair, standing on a rocky shore. Behind them, a crowd of smaller figures—some dressed in fancy clothes, others in simple robes—watch or point. The scene feels chaotic, with twisted trees and a stormy sky in the background. The two main figures look like mischievous characters, often seen in old comedies. Their exaggerated poses and expressions make them stand out against the more orderly crowd. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made detailed prints.
