Zanni is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man stands with his back to us, holding a long stick. His wide-brimmed hat and loose coat look old-fashioned. Behind him, three small scenes play out like windows: one shows a crowd in front of a church, another a group under a balcony, and the last a street with people watching. The lines are sharp and busy, almost like a sketch that’s been scratched into metal. This kind of drawing was made by pressing paper onto inked plates. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
