Saint-Preux sort de chez des femmes du monde

Nicolas Delaunay after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of eight people moving down a staircase. One person is at the front, wearing a tricorn hat and knee-length coat, appearing to be in motion down the stairs, while the others follow closely behind, some extending their arms toward him. The facial expressions of the group indicate interest and engagement. The individuals are dressed in historical attire typical of the 18th century, with women wearing dresses and men in coats and breeches. The background features an interior with a doorway visible at the top of the staircase, casting shadows. There is a wrought iron railing on the staircase.
