La Sentinelle en défaut

Nicolas Delaunay after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene in a dimly lit bedroom. The image shows a room with two beds; one on the left with drawn curtains and a figure reclined and asleep, and another to the right where two figures are engaged in an interaction. A dim light source illuminates the scene, casting shadows across the room. The central focus is on the two figures on the right sitting on the edge of a bed with draped textiles around them.
