Le matin is a 1776 ink by Emmanuel Jean Nepomucène de Ghendt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man in fancy clothes standing beside a bed. A woman lies asleep on the bed, draped in light sheets. Nearby, a small child reaches up toward the man, while heavy curtains frame the scene. The artist used shading to show the folds in the fabric and the curves of the figures. This kind of printmaking was popular in the 1700s. Next, look up the technique: etching.
Emmanuel Jean Nepomucène de Ghendt (1738–1815) was an artist.
