From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le contretemps is a 1786 ink by Francois-Nicolas-Barthelemy Dequevauviller, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting, titled "Le contretemps," depicts a woman in a white dress standing beside a bed where a man lies, partially covered by a sheet. The room is dimly lit, with a door open to the right and a chair in the corner. A small table with a bowl on it sits beside the bed. In the background, a large curtain hangs from the ceiling, and a framed picture adorns the wall. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet intimacy, with the woman's gaze directed towards the man on the bed. The use of soft lighting and muted colors creates a sense of warmth and coziness, drawing the viewer's attention to the tender moment between the two figures.
