Jacques Callot is a 1645 by Lucas Emil Vorsterman, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image is a portrait of a man sitting at a desk. He has long hair and is wearing a large collar and a jacket with a decorative pattern. His hands are resting on the desk, and he is holding a quill pen in his right hand. On the desk, there are various objects, including a piece of paper with a drawing on it, a small box, and a pair of scissors. The background of the image is a plain color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds depth and dimension to the portrait.
