Le soufflet

Noël Le Mire after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

The image displays three individuals in a scene of lively interaction. The person on the left, a man, is stepping forward with one leg bent, arm raised, and mouth open. He has curly hair and is wearing a coat, waistcoat, breeches, stockings, and shoes. The woman in the middle has long hair and wears a long, flowing dress with intricate designs. The woman on the right is leaning slightly backward with one arm raised, dressed in a voluminous gown. Both women hold fans. The room has wooden paneling, a decorative door, armchairs, ornate elements, and architectural details. A small rug is on the floor.
