Print
A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts two women with light skin tones. In the center, a woman in a ruffled bonnet and dark dress tilts her head back with a shocked expression. To our right, another woman leans toward her ear, clasping her hand. Rapid hatching suggests a simple interior. Inscribed below the print are several lines of French dialogue, including "Ma chère, je l'aime!" and the exclamation "Imprudente!"
