Les moeurs du temps is a 1773 ink by Pierre-Charles Ingouf, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This scene shows three people in a fancy room. A woman stands by a window, holding a fan, while a man and woman sit nearby, talking. The man leans back in a chair, one leg crossed. The woman on the couch holds a book or paper. A small dog sits on the floor, and a table holds a vase with flowers. The walls have ornate decorations, and a fireplace is visible in the background. The title at the bottom, *Les moeurs du temps*, hints this print makes a point about society’s habits. The artist used lines to show light and movement, typical of this style.
