Jusques dans la moindre chose

Louis-Joseph Masquelier after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a woman depicted from the waist up, seated on a garden bench. She is positioned in profile facing to her right, appearing relaxed with her left hand resting on an open book on her lap. The woman has delicate facial features and her hair is covered by a cap that ties under her chin. She wears a dress with puffed sleeves. Surrounding her on the bench are some personal belongings, including a partially visible basket beside her. The background shows lush foliage with a potted plant bearing blooming flowers next to her, and a large tree stretching upwards. The scene is enclosed within an ornate oval frame. Below the oval, there is an empty plaque within the rectangular border of the image.
