Le petit conseil

Jean-François Janinet after Nicolas Lavreince

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two women, one seated and the other standing. The standing woman is depicted from head to toe and is leaning against a small wooden table. She has features, a light complexion, and curly hair partially covered by a lace cap. She wears a long dress with a white shawl around her shoulders and a pink sash around her waist. Beside her on the table, there is a small book or pamphlet, and on the table behind her, there is a pitcher and a basin. The seated woman, shown from head to knees, is positioned in profile, looking up at the standing woman while resting her elbow on the table. She has curly hair and is also dressed in a long gown in hues of green and orange, with a light shawl similar to the standing woman's. The chair she sits on is ornate, and there is a footstool beside her. The background features a curtain and a patterned rug on the floor.
