This print shows a man and two women in fancy 18th-century clothes walking in a garden. The man holds a flower, and the women stand near a small dog and a wicker chair. Trees frame the scene, and a building with columns is in the background. The title at the bottom, *La promenade du soir*, hints this is about an evening stroll. The artist used lines to show light and shadow, typical of this style. Look up etching to see how artists like this carved fine details into metal plates.
