Baptism of the Prince of Spain

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows multiple individuals gathered around a large basin. A man in ceremonial attire is holding an infant above the basin, with other individuals surrounding them. The people are dressed in elaborate historical clothing, with women wearing long dresses and men wearing cloaks and doublets. The background features draped curtains and columns, in a detailed crosshatch style suggesting it may be an engraving or etching.
