Untitled (gentleman in fur trimmed jacket and plumed hat with sword)
An etching is from the series La Noblesse, which possibly illustrates the costumes worn at the Lorraine Court. It is a stark contrast to the poor depicted in Callot’s series Les Mendiants. The subjects appear individually in both series, but the landscapes differ dramatically.
Callot’s work influenced other artists. Rembrandt admired Callot’s skill with the etching needle and was inspired by these prints for his own beggars. Callot’s ability to capture
a wide range of subjects and convey emotions through his prints has left a lasting legacy in the history of printmaking.
