Second Day, Second Story: Rinaldo d'Asti and the Widow

Hubert François Gravelot

National Gallery of Art

This drawing shows three people in a well-furnished room. On the left is a seated woman in an elegant gown with a fan, sitting near a fireplace on the far left, her body turned to face us. She has a necklace and earrings, and her hair is up in a bun. Behind her is a standing woman in a long dress with a bonnet who holds the arm of a standing man in loose-fitting attire. The man has long hair and is barefoot. All three people have light skin. The room is ornately decorated with floral designs on the wall, a cabinet of plates and dishes, a block on the walls, and a candelabra on the mantle above the fireplace. The floor is covered by a rug with swirling patterns. Beneath the print is a line of text.
