Les oublies is a 1804 ink by Nicolas Schencker, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four people in a garden scene. A man in a dark coat stands to the left, looking away. Three women—one adjusting her dress, one peeking into a large barrel, and one reclining with a basket—are in the center and right. The background has trees, a fence, and a distant landscape. The title *Les oublies* hints at a connection to forgotten or overlooked things, possibly tied to the barrel in the center. The style looks like it’s from the early 1800s, with soft shading and careful details. Next, check out the technique: engraving.
