Francois-Nicolas-Barthelemy Dequevauviller after Nicolas Lavreince

National Gallery of Art

The engraving shows several women in a dimly lit room engaged in various activities. One woman leans against a drawer, two women are seated at a table working, another woman stands holding fabric, and another woman is seated in conversation with a standing woman. The women wear elegant gowns and have styled hair. In the background, a woman is changing clothes near a bed canopy. The room has wooden ceiling beams, a painting on the wall, and a small table with a mirror.
