Sa taille est ravissante is a 1776 ink by Pierre Adrien Le Beau, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a woman sitting in a cozy corner. She wears a fancy powdered wig, a low-cut dress, and holds a fan. Around her are small objects like a mirror, a box, and a basket of fruit. The scene feels intimate, with soft curves framing her. The artist used fine lines to capture her delicate features and the details of her clothes. This kind of print was sold in Paris, as the text at the bottom says. Next, look up the technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
