This etching shows a ragged band of travelers resting under a tree. A woman nurses a baby. A man plays a lute. The group looks worn but hopeful. Callot etched this in the 1620s. Back then, wandering performers and outcasts were everywhere in Europe. His fine lines capture their worn clothes and tired faces. See it next at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
