"Femme de Qualité aux bain de la Sausais" is a hand-colored etching by French artist Nicholas Arnoult, created between 1680 and 1696. The image depicts a woman of quality, with a flowing red dress and intricate white lace collar, reclined on a rock by a river. She is attended to by two other figures; one man in a yellow coat, holding a plate of food, and another woman in a blue dress, holding the woman of quality's hand. The scene is set in a lush green landscape, with palm trees and a parrot perched on a branch. The engraving, which measures 12 x 8 in, can be found in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
