Le calendrier des viellards

About this work

This etching shows two people in a cozy room. The woman sits on a chair, dressed in fancy 18th-century clothes with a flower in her hair. The man stands beside her, pointing at a framed sheet of music on the wall. A small dog lies nearby, and a table holds a vase with flowers and a book. The man’s gesture suggests he’s explaining something about the music. The room looks rich, with heavy curtains and ornate decorations.
