L'Innocente du Jour is a 1810 ink by Philibert-Louis Debucourt, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a woman in a white dress standing in front of a stone wall, with a man in a dark jacket and white pants standing behind her. The woman is holding a handkerchief to her face, and the man is leaning against the wall with his head in his hands. In the background, there are trees and a cloudy sky. The scene appears to be set in a garden or park, with a group of people gathered in the distance. The woman's dress and the man's clothing suggest a formal or elegant setting. The painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism. The use of etching and aquatint techniques gives the painting a sense of depth and texture.
