Pauvre Annette is a 1795 ink by Philibert-Louis Debucourt, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits on a grassy hillside, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a loose, flowing dress. She holds a fan in one hand and rests her chin on the other, looking off into the distance. Behind her, a tree stands tall, and a winding path cuts through a landscape of rolling hills and scattered bushes. Her outfit is simple but elegant, with soft colors that blend into the natural surroundings. The artist used delicate lines and shading to create a quiet, peaceful scene. This print was made using etching, aquatint with hand coloring.
