La premiere lecon d'amour is a 1774 ink by Nicolas Joseph Voyez, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a woman sitting in a dim room, holding a book open in her lap. Two doves perch on a ledge behind her, and a shelf holds a few small objects. She wears a high-crowned hat and loose, flowing clothes, looking down at the book with a calm face. The room looks cozy but slightly cluttered, with a chair and a small table nearby. The lighting is soft, focusing on her and the doves, while the background fades into shadow. Next, explore the technique: etching.
