Le cocu battu et content is a 1780 ink by Jean-Louis Delignon, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a man and woman in a room, with the man kneeling and holding up a dress for the woman to step into. The woman is standing, wearing a long dress with a ruffled skirt and a corseted top, and has her hair styled in an updo. The room is decorated with curtains, a chair, and a chandelier, and there is a dog sitting on the chair. The woman appears to be getting ready for an event, and the man is helping her into her dress. The atmosphere is one of intimacy and quiet domesticity. The style of the image is reminiscent of Romanticism, with its focus on emotion and everyday life. You can learn more about the Romanticism movement and its artists, such as Delignon, Jean-Louis.
