La soiree d'hyver is a 1774 ink by Francois-Robert Ingouf, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows three people in a dimly lit room. A man in a long coat stands near a table with lit candles, holding a book. A woman in a fancy dress sits on a chair, fanning herself while leaning back. Another woman kneels beside her, holding a small dog. The room has shelves with objects, a clock, and a chandelier. The title *La soirée d’hiver* means "Winter Evening," hinting at a quiet, indoor scene. The artist used shading to make the figures look three-dimensional, which was tricky in this medium.
