La confiance des belles âmes

Antoine-Jean Duclos after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people engaged in a scene. A woman is being supported by a man, with another man reaching out towards her. The woman appears to be in a faint or swooning position, with her eyes closed and head tilted back. She is wearing a formal dress with a wide skirt, ruffles, and embellishments, along with a hat adorned with flowers. The supporting man has mid-length hair and is dressed in period clothing. Another man is next to a carriage, with a small dog in front of him. An older man on the right is dressed in formal attire and has his hand extended. A stone wall with an ornate gate and a large tree are in the background.
