The Stopping Place

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a group of people gathered around a rustic, thatched building. The scene captures a busy moment with a variety of characters engaged in different activities. To the left, several people are gathered outside the large wooden barn or structure. Some individuals appear to be involved in a transaction or social interaction, while others are working or carrying goods. A person on horseback is depicted on the right side, wearing flowing garments. They stand next to a large, bare tree that occupies the right side of the print. There is text in the upper-left corner of the print.
