Le lever des ouvrieres en modes is a 1784 ink by Francois-Nicolas-Barthelemy Dequevauviller, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a busy bedroom scene with women and children getting ready. One woman stands by a bed, adjusting her dress while another holds up a mirror. A child sits on the floor nearby, and a woman by the window reads a letter. The room has draped curtains, a small table with a candle, and a bust on a shelf. The title *Le lever des ouvrières en modes* hints this shows working women dressing for the day. The print uses fine lines to show fabric and movement, typical of its time.
