Sans rien comprendre à ce mystere is a 1773 ink by Noël Le Mire, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a man and woman in fancy 18th-century clothes. The woman sits on a bench under a tree, holding a bouquet of flowers. The man stands beside her, leaning in as if whispering something. Behind them, a fancy building with columns and greenery frames the scene. The woman’s pose looks relaxed, but her face is turned away—like she’s hiding something. The artist used shading to make the fabrics and leaves look almost real. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
