L'innocence en danger

Jean Gabriel Caquet after Nicolas Lavreince

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals in a grand interior setting. In the center, a woman stands elegantly, slightly leaning toward a seated man on the right. She wears elaborate headwear and an 18th-century gown. The man is seated comfortably in an ornate chair with a book in hand. Another woman to the left leans over, dressed in similarly elegant attire. The background features classical architectural elements with columns, arches, and heavy drapery. A table and chair are visible in the left background.
