La gageure des trois commeres: La servante is a 1786 ink by Philippe Triere, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows three women in a richly decorated bedroom. One woman stands near the bed, adjusting another’s dress, while the third woman lies in bed, looking down. The room has heavy curtains, a carved canopy, and a small painting on the wall. A hat and fan sit on the floor near the bed. The artist used fine lines to show the fabric folds and faces, giving a soft, detailed look. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists create these delicate lines.
