Le mari confident is a 1790 ink by Antoine Borel, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows three people in a fancy room with tall, carved doors and a table between them. The woman in the middle wears a big feathered hat and holds a fan, while the man on the left stands close to her. The man on the right sits in a chair, looking at something in his hands. The title *Le mari confident* hints at a secret or hidden meaning—maybe the man is playing a trick or keeping a secret. The room’s decorations look rich, with gold patterns and statues, but the drawing itself is simple, using only ink lines.
