Réception de Choiseul-Gouffier chez Hassan-Tchousch-Oglou is a 1780 ink by Antoine-Jean Duclos, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a crowded room with two groups of people. On the left, a few men stand near a table with a woman seated. On the right, a larger group gathers around a man who’s pointing at something on the floor. The room has high ceilings, shelves with jars, and patterned walls. Light streams through tall windows, and a few people sit at a table in the back, reading or talking. The artist used fine lines to create depth and texture, especially in the clothing and furniture. The scene looks busy but orderly, with everyone focused on something happening in the center. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Duclos built up details with just ink and lines.
Antoine-Jean Duclos (1742–1795) was an artist, born in Paris.
