Sheet of Etchings

Style of Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring three separate scenes. The first scene shows a horse seated on the ground. In the second scene, two figures are present, one playing a violin while the other watches. The third scene displays a rustic building with a multi-layered roof in a pastoral setting, with trees in the background and a body of water or landform in the foreground. The elements are depicted using simple, linear contours against plain backgrounds, focusing on form and proportion.
