Soldiers looting and pillaging an inn in the countryside after they refused to pay for their board and lodging. Etching after Jacques Callot, ca. 1633.

Jacques Callot

Lettering: Ces courages bruteaux dans les hosteleries, du beau nom couvrent leurs voleries ... Bears number bottom right : 4. Translation of the poem: These brutal characters cloak their thefts and hostelries with the fair name of booty. Enemies of repose, they purposely pick quarrels to avoid paying the host and seize even the mugs. Thus they take a fancy to other people's property when they have been made drunk and served as they desired. Lettering continues in French underneath the print describing the event in verse.
