Le Triomphe de Minette (Triumph of Minette)

About this work

A woman in a light blue dress stands in a cozy room, holding a fluffy white dog close to her chest. Two more small dogs curl up on the floor beside her. Behind her, a table holds a teapot, cups, and a folded fan. A chair with a draped coat sits nearby, and a cello leans against the wall under a window with green curtains. The title *Le Triomphe de Minette* hints this scene celebrates a pet’s victory—maybe a playful nod to how beloved dogs were in 18th-century homes. The artist used delicate lines and soft shading to make the fabrics and fur look almost real. Want to see how this print was made? Look up etching.
