The Palace Gardens at Nancy, 1625. Jacques Callot (French, 1592-1635) The Palace Gardens at Nancy, 1625 Etching Elisabeth Severance Prentiss Collection by exchange 65.232 Callot's etching shows the appearance of the garden at the ducal palace at Nancy in 1625. Female figures carrying baskets on their heads are pictured so that Bellange's etchings of gardeners balancing ornate, fanciful containers must have been based on reality.
