The Large Rock

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seascape from an elevated perspective. The shore and water are visible, with rock formations and small structures on them. Boats, people, and a fire with a pot can be seen near the shore. The drawing emphasizes monochromatic tones and line and hatching techniques to portray light, shadow, and form.
