L'Oiseau ranime is a 1787 ink by Philibert-Louis Debucourt, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts two women in a room, one standing and the other seated on a bed. The standing woman is holding the other, who appears to be injured or ill. The room is decorated with various objects, including a table, chairs, and a mirror. The women are dressed in 18th-century attire, with the standing woman wearing a blue dress and the seated woman wearing a white dress. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow emanating from the right side of the painting. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of intimacy and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
