Le concert is a 1774 ink by Antoine-Jean Duclos, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This scene shows a crowded room where people in fancy 18th-century clothes are gathered around musicians playing instruments. The room has tall windows with heavy curtains, a grand fireplace, and a painted ceiling with clouds and figures. Everyone looks dressed up, some standing, some sitting, all focused on the music. The title at the bottom reads *"Le Concert"* and names a countess as the host. The artist signed it as Duclos, and the whole image is made using a printmaking method. Look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this kind of detailed print was made.
