Waiting for the Virgin to Give Birth; St. Nemesius; St. Philogonius; St. Thomas is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a set of four black-and-white prints. Each shows a different scene with people dressed in old-time robes. One has a woman kneeling by a cow. Another shows a man holding a baby. One man stands holding a book and a staff. The last has a man with a spear, standing near water. These prints were made using a sharp tool to carve into metal. That’s how the lines got so crisp. The artist signed them "Israel ex." Look up etching next to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
