Second Day, Second Story: Rinaldo d'Asti and the Widow is a 1757 ink by Hubert François Gravelot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a scene with three figures in a room. The woman on the left sits in a chair, holding a fan, while the two figures on the right stand together, engaged in conversation. The room's interior features a fireplace, a clock on the wall, and ornate details. The artist's use of pen, gray ink, and brown wash over red chalk creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the intimate scene.
