Le fruit de l'amour secret is a 1776 ink by François Voyez, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a bed, holding a baby. She's wearing a long dress and has a blanket wrapped around her. There's a man standing next to her, reaching out to touch the baby. The room has a big window with curtains and a table with a chair. The woman looks sad, and the man seems to be trying to comfort her. The baby is sleeping, and there's a small dog lying on the floor. The room is decorated with fancy furniture and curtains. The painting is an engraving, which means it was made using a special technique to create detailed lines and textures.
