La coquette fixée

About this work

This print shows two women in a garden. One sits on a stone ledge, holding a fan and looking down. The other kneels beside her, pointing at something in her hand. Both wear fancy clothes and big hats. Trees and flowers fill the background, with a fence and a building peeking through the greenery. The woman on the ledge looks surprised, like she’s caught off guard. The kneeling woman’s gesture suggests she’s showing something important—or maybe teasing.
