L'innocence en danger is a 1785 ink by Jean Gabriel Caquet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows three people in a fancy room with arched windows and heavy curtains. A woman in a big white dress stands near a seated man in a wig, while another woman in a dark dress leans over them. The room has ornate furniture, a fireplace, and a tall vase on a pedestal. The title at the bottom, *L’Innocence en Danger*, hints at a story of danger or warning—likely tied to the woman’s uneasy pose. The scene looks like a moment frozen in time, full of quiet tension.
