La Bonne éducation (The Good Education) is a 1757 ink by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows two women in a dimly lit room. One stands holding a book, dressed in a simple gown with a cap. The other sits by a window, reading a letter while wearing a loose apron and cap. A small dog lies near her feet, and a harp leans against the wall. The title at the bottom, *La Bonne éducation*, hints this scene might be about teaching or guidance. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, like the folds in the women’s clothes. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Le Bas made detailed prints like this.
