Marriage a la Mode: pl.5 is a 1745 ink by Simon Francois Ravenet I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a messy room with four people in old-fashioned clothes. A man in a fancy coat stands near a kneeling woman, who looks upset. Two other men—one holding a cane, the other a paper—stand by a window. Broken items, like a chair and a mirror, are scattered on the floor. A dog sits in the corner, and a framed portrait hangs on the wall. The scene looks like a fight or a big argument, with clothes torn and things knocked over. The title at the bottom says *Marriage a la Mode*, which suggests it’s about relationships. If you like this style, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how these prints were made.
