EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing by Jacques Callot, titled "Figure facing backwards" showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing the human form. The figure depicted is a female, elegantly dressed in a flowing gown and adorned with a delicate headscarf and headdress. With her back turned towards us, she carries a basket gracefully on her arm. Callot's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this study, as every line and shadow contributes to the overall composition. The artist skillfully portrays the woman's posture and movement through his masterful use of black chalk on paper. The simplicity of this sketch allows viewers to focus solely on the subject herself – her poise, gracefulness, and mysterious allure. It leaves us wondering about her story or what lies ahead as she walks away from our gaze. Originally part of an album titled "Bourgeoises dans differentes attitudes" this artwork exemplifies Callot's ability to capture various aspects of everyday life during his time. This print from The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth offers us a glimpse into 17th-century France while showcasing Callot's remarkable artistic prowess. Reproduced by permission of Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this image serves as a testament to Callot's enduring legacy as one of France's most influential artists.
