Jusques dans la moindre chose is a 1774 ink by Louis-Joseph Masquelier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a woman sitting in a garden. She’s holding a book or papers, dressed in a loose, fancy dress with a cap on her head. Behind her, a tree and potted flowers fill the background, and a bench sits to her left. The artist used shading to show light and fabric folds, making the scene feel quiet and detailed. This was made in 1774, and it’s a type of print called an etching. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like Masquelier created these fine lines.
