This scene shows a woman in a fancy dress standing near a window, holding a fan to her face. A man is kneeling beside her, looking at a small portrait of another man. The room has heavy curtains, a lit candle on the wall, and a cozy chair with a cat curled up on it. The woman’s expression looks annoyed, while the kneeling man seems nervous. The small portrait he holds might be the cause of her frustration. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one create detailed prints.
