Israel Henriet; Jacques Callot

The printmaking output associated with Israel Henriet and Jacques Callot stems from a period of activity documented between 1590 and 1630. Their body of work consists of detailed prints, typically focusing on single-figure studies and genre portraiture. These engravings and etchings capture specific poses and attire indicative of the early seventeenth century.

Eight of their known Israel Henriet; Jacques Callot prints are represented in major institutional collections, establishing their historical significance. The National Gallery of Art holds examples of their work, documenting studies such as Peasant Woman with Basket, Facing Left and Young Woman with Distaff, Facing Right. Other notable titles held in collections include Bourgeoise with Muff, Facing Right, Young Woman with Hands Folded, Facing Right, and Young Woman with Hands on Hips, Front View.

The surviving material, available today often as high-quality prints, is crucial for understanding the dissemination of figural studies during this era. Because much of this historical artwork is now in the public domain, the prints remain widely accessible for scholarship and appreciation.
