Louis-Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, and His Son, Louis-Phillipe Joseph, Duc de Chartres is a 1759 ink by Carrogis, Louis de, called Carmontelle, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows two men in fancy 18th-century clothes. One sits in a chair, holding a small object in his hand, while the other stands beside him, leaning slightly forward. Behind them, a large arched window with curtains lets in light, and a desk with a few items sits in the corner. The seated man’s relaxed pose and the standing man’s focused attention suggest a quiet moment between them. The artist used fine lines to show fabric folds and shadows, making the scene feel detailed and real. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
