Le petit conseil is a 1783 ink by Jean-François Janinet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two women in a dimly lit room. One stands near a small table, wearing a pink and white dress with a frilly hat. The other sits in a chair, holding a piece of paper and looking down. A small side table holds a teapot and cup, and the floor has a patterned rug. The title *Le petit conseil* hints at a quiet, private moment—maybe advice or a secret chat. The soft lighting and simple furniture give it a cozy, intimate feel. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and everyday scenes like this one.
