Willows by the Water's Edge is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a serene landscape with a row of trees lining the edge of a body of water. The trees, mostly bare, stand in a line, with one larger tree on the right side of the image. The water's edge is visible at the bottom of the image, with the sky above. The image is rendered in a simple, yet effective style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful scene.
