The Fan

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an aerial view of a riverside event, possibly a festival. An ornate frame surrounds groups of people near the river, depicted in intricate detail. The background features a bustling crowd along the riverbanks and old-world architecture in the distance. The sky is detailed with fine line work. The color palette is monochromatic, typical of an etching.
