From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Nina, ou La Folle par amour (Nina, or The Woman Maddened by Love) is a 1787 ink by Jean-François Janinet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woman stands in a garden, dressed in a light, flowing dress with puffed sleeves. Her hair is styled high with a flower tucked in, and she holds a fan in one hand. Behind her, a stone bench sits empty, and trees, bushes, and distant buildings fill the background. The scene looks like a quiet moment frozen in time, with soft colors blending into the landscape. The artist used ink washes to create depth and texture, making the garden feel alive. Next, check out the technique: etching.
Jean-François Janinet (1752–1814) was a French artist, born in Paris.
