Nicolas de Larmessin IV after Nicolas Lancret

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of three individuals in a richly decorated interior setting. The man, seated on the left, wears a long coat with a shirt that has a white ruffle around the neck and cuffs. His hair is styled back. The woman in the center is seated on a couch, extending her arm to pour tea or coffee from a pot into cups on a table. The woman standing to the right is holding lace and observing. They are all dressed elegantly with detailed lacework. The background includes decorative wall hangings, framed pictures, molding, draped curtains, and a window.
