Le retour a la vertu

Joseph de Longueil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals seated on an ornate sofa. The man, positioned on the left, leans slightly towards the woman on the right. The man has white hair tied back in a style reminiscent of an 18th-century powdered wig and is wearing a red coat with gold buttons and white breeches. The woman has curly hair styled similarly to the man's and is wearing a pastel pink dress with bows and ribbons. The room is richly decorated with blue drapery, floral arrangements, and a table with vases and scrolls in the foreground.
