La matrone d'Ephese is a 1793 ink by Jean-Louis Delignon, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a group of people around a tomb. One woman lies on top, looking up. Others kneel or stand nearby, some holding objects like a tray. The tomb has carvings on the sides and a small statue on top. The scene looks dramatic, with dark shadows and strong lines. The artist used a method called *etching* to make this print. The lines are sharp, and the shading adds depth to the figures. Want to know more? Look up etching.
