J'ai tort, mon cher Valère, et t'en demande excuse is a 1782 ink by Jean Jacques Le Veau, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows three people in an indoor scene with tall columns and draped curtains. A woman in a voluminous dress with ruffles stands to the left, looking down. Two men face her: one in a fancy coat and wig, gesturing with his hands, while the other leans forward, holding a hat. The setting looks like a grand room with a window in the background. The text below reads *"J'ai tort, mon cher Valère, et t'en demande excuse"*—French for *"I’m wrong, my dear Valère, and I ask your pardon."* This suggests a moment of apology or drama. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
