Le matin is a 1741 ink by Nicolas de Larmessin IV, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows three people in a cozy room. A man in a robe sits at a small table, looking at a woman pouring tea. She’s dressed in fancy clothes, holding a teapot. Behind them, a third woman stands holding a fan, watching the scene. The table has cups, a teapot, and a candle. The walls have simple decorations, and a window lets in light. The title *Le matin* means "morning" in French, hinting this might be a morning scene. The artist used fine lines to show the details in their clothing and the objects. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
