The Empty Quiver

Nicolas Delaunay

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white illustration of a woman in a dress standing next to a man sitting on a chaise longue, with an opening with curtains on the left, a fireplace mantle on the right, dark background; framed with decorative border, text underneath. The woman wears a dress with a large skirt and a corset; she holds something up to her face. The man sits relaxed on the chaise longue with one leg extended. Fireplace mantle holds decorative objects including two candlesticks, a vase, and a sculpture of a nude torso. The image border has decorative details including a crest underneath the image. The scene appears to depict an interior room with furnishings typical of 18th-century European style. The empty quiver appears to relate to a man associated with Nicolas Delaunay titled "The Empty Quiver".
