La Fuite à dessein (The Pre-Arranged Flight) is a 1783 ink by Charles François Adrien Macret, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a woman in fancy clothes, standing on a rocky hillside. She’s wearing a big dress with stripes and a hat, and her arm is outstretched like she’s about to take a step. Behind her, a small boy clings to her skirt, and the ground is full of tall, spiky plants. The woman looks like she’s mid-motion, maybe running away. The artist used lines to show the folds in her dress and the texture of the rocks. Next, look up etching to see how this kind of drawing was made.
Charles François Adrien Macret (1783–1783) was an artist.
