The Miseries of War: Arrest of Malefactors

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

A group of 16 people on foot and 5 on horseback are shown walking in a wooded area; several are holding weapons. A man on the ground to the left is on his back; two people are behind him. The group on foot walks from right to left, one man on the right side slightly ahead and to the side of the others. Most are wearing hats; some have cloaks. A man on horseback on the left side wears a hat with a large feather; a man on a horse to the right wears a hat with a smaller feather. A man on horseback on the left side holds a weapon in his right hand while guiding the horse with his left hand on the reins. Trees and foliage are on both sides of the group, with a house and more trees in the background. The sky has some clouds. The image is in black and white, with the writing at the bottom.
