A femme avare galant escroc is a 1757 ink by Antoine-Jean Duclos, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a fancy room with two people and a dog. A woman in a big, puffy dress stands by a table, holding something small. A man in loose clothes sits on a couch, leaning back with one arm resting on the armrest. The walls have framed pictures, and there’s a shelf with books and a vase. A small dog lies on the floor, looking relaxed. The woman’s dress is full of tiny folds, and the man’s pose looks lazy but confident. The room feels rich but lived-in, with details like the curved wall molding and the cluttered shelf. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this kind of print was made.
