Le Rendez-vous is a 1771 chalk by Louis-Marin Bonnet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This chalk drawing shows two women leaning close, their faces almost touching. One wears a light dress with a fur collar, her hair pulled back. The other has a darker dress with a lace trim, her hair in a loose bun. Both look serious, their hands resting near each other. The soft shading and warm tones make their faces glow against the dark background. The artist used a simple but expressive style, focusing on their quiet connection. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
