La Rose mal defendue is a 1791 ink by Philibert-Louis Debucourt, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man and woman in a bedroom, caught in a playful moment. The woman, dressed in a white dress and pink skirt, sits on a bed, while the man, wearing a blue jacket and yellow pants, leans over her. He appears to be trying to take something from her hand. The room is decorated with a large bed, curtains, and a table with a teapot and cups. The atmosphere is lighthearted and intimate, with the couple's facial expressions suggesting a sense of humor and affection. The use of pastel colors and soft lines adds to the overall sense of warmth and tenderness in the scene. For more on this style, look up the Romanticism movement.
