La jeunesse is a 1735 ink by Nicolas de Larmessin IV, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows six people in a forest. A man on the left holds a bow, while others sit or stand around him. One woman stands holding a child, and another leans on a tree. The background has trees and a distant view of hills. The text below is in French, hinting at a story about youth and love. The scene feels lively, with people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. This is made using etching, a technique where acid eats into metal plates to create lines.
