Four Parts of the Via Dolorosa

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a scene from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon shows a collection of buildings and tower-like structures. On the left, there is a masonry wall with an arched entrance and a small structure on top. To the right, there is a hill with three crosses. The style features detailed linework, hatching for textures, and shading. The color palette is sepia. In the upper left corner, there is a scroll with labeled points corresponding to letters in the scene.
