This etching belongs to The Large Miseries of War (Les Grandes Misères de la guerre), the 1633 series by the French printmaker Jacques Callot. Drawing on the devastation he witnessed when armies overran his native Lorraine during the Thirty Years' War, Callot laid out the whole grim cycle of soldiering — recruitment, plunder, punishment and ruin — in eighteen unflinching plates often called the first true anti-war art.

This looks like something that cost twice what it did. I keep noticing new corners of The Large Miseries of War weeks later. Happy customer, and I don’t say that often.
This is genuinely one of the nicest things we own now. It made it through hurricane season on the coast with no problems at all. Thank you for making something this good.
Half of this worked out and the other half did not. The detail in The Large Miseries of War holds up at a distance and softens if you come closer. Support answered my question eventually and did not really solve anything. The paper on this print is decent without feeling special. It sat in a snowbank by the mailbox all afternoon and was ruined by the time I found it.
Everyone who walks in asks about it. Ten out of ten from me.
I have no real complaints and one small wish. I keep noticing new corners of The Large Miseries of War weeks later.
