La Rose mal defendue (The Poorly Defended Rose) is a 1791 ink by Philibert-Louis Debucourt, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, a man and woman are in a bedroom, engaged in a romantic moment. The woman, wearing a white dress and a hat, is sitting on a bed, while the man, dressed in a dark jacket and white pants, is standing beside her. He is holding a rose and appears to be giving it to her. The room is decorated with curtains, a table, and various objects on the floor. The atmosphere is intimate and playful, with the couple seemingly enjoying each other's company. The painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasizes emotion and imagination.
