Le cocarde nationale is a 1790 ink by Auguste-Claude-Simon Legrand, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a man and woman in an intimate scene. The woman, dressed in a long blue dress, stands beside the man, who sits on a chair. He wears a brown jacket, white pants, and a black hat adorned with a blue and white feather. The man holds a sword in his right hand, while his left hand grasps the woman's right arm. The woman's left hand rests on the man's shoulder, and she gazes at him with a gentle expression. The background of the painting features a dark room with a table, a clock, and a candelabra. The painting's use of muted colors and soft lighting creates a sense of warmth and intimacy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate folds of the woman's dress and the man's hat.
