Un rimprovero [A Reprimand] is a 1874 ink by Alberto Maso Gilli, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white etching shows two older people sitting close together. The man wears a tall white hat and a dark coat, holding a cane in one hand and a small object in the other. The woman beside him has a white headscarf and rests her hand on his arm, looking down at him with a serious expression. The artist used fine lines to show wrinkles and fabric folds, making their faces and clothes look real. The dark background keeps your focus on them, like a spotlight.
