La raclee avec des roses (The Thrashing with Roses)

Antoine Cosme Giraud after Antoine Borel

National Gallery of Art

The image captures two individuals in an ornate interior space with opulent decor. The scene depicts two people on a bed, one leaning over the other. Their upper torsos and part of their legs are visible, both with curly hair in historical styles. Their faces are turned towards each other. One person wears a draped garment, while the other appears more exposed. The room features a canopy bed with curtains, an oval mirror on the wall, and a table with decorative items. A dog rests at the foot of the bed on a cushion. The setting conveys elegance and decadence.
