L'amour frivole is a 1764 ink by Jacques-Firmin Beauvarlet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a fancy room with two people. A woman in a big dress with a flowery hat sits by a small table, holding a fan. A man in a long coat stands by an open window, holding a piece of paper. The room has heavy curtains, carved wood furniture, and a mirror. A vase of flowers sits on the floor near the window. The title *L’amour frivole* hints this might be about lighthearted love. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, making the scene look detailed.
