Pantaloons is a 1632 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows five men standing in a row, each wearing different outfits. The man in the middle is dressed in a long coat and a hat, while the others wear shorter jackets and various headgear. In the background, there are some buildings and people, but they are not clearly defined. The overall mood of the image is one of casualness, as if the men are just standing around chatting. The artist's use of etching creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. For more works in the Baroque style, explore the art of Della Bella, Stefano.
