The Large Miseries of War: Enrollment of the Troops

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a large group of soldiers gathered outdoors. A crowd of men in 17th-century military uniforms stand in a large open area, many holding guns or pikes. Some soldiers are lined up while others are gathered into smaller groups. On the right side of the image, several men sit and stand around a table. A bare tree trunk is visible on the right. In the background, there are buildings and a fence made of long, thin posts. A line of text in French is written at the bottom of the image.
