Joconde: Le pardon is a 1786 ink by Philippe Triere, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows three women in a dimly lit room with arched windows. One woman stands tall in fancy clothes, holding a fan, while another kneels beside her, looking down. The third woman stands nearby, holding a small telescope or spyglass. A desk with papers and a candle sits in the background, and a shelf holds books and a bust. The woman in the center wears a feathered hat, adding a touch of drama. The room looks old and rich, with dark wood and heavy curtains. The lighting focuses on their faces, making them stand out.
