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.

For the price this lands well above where I expected it to. 🙂
My only complaint is that I wish they made a bigger version. It brought The Large Miseries of War into the house at a price I could actually justify. The whole order took less than a week from checkout to opening it. It does everything I hoped it would.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. It brings out parts of The Large Miseries of War I have never seen reproduced this well. This shop has a customer for life in me.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. My daughter recognized The Large Miseries of War from her art class and was thrilled.
It has held up through a hot summer with the windows open. My friends recognized The Large Miseries of War right away, which surprised me. It has real weight to it instead of feeling disposable. Happy customer, and I don't say that often.
Wonderful to read, thank you. We put a lot of thought into how these are packed, so it is good to know that came through.
