Sophie remettez-vous is a 1779 ink by Nicolas Delaunay, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows five people in a dimly lit room. Three women and two men sit around a small table covered with a cloth. One woman stands, gesturing toward the seated group. The room has simple furniture—chairs with high backs, a table with plates and cups, and a window with heavy curtains. The title hints at a moment of conversation or correction, but the exact scene isn’t clear. The artist used fine lines to capture the details of clothing and expressions. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create prints like this.
