"La Vieille de Bonne Humeur" (The Old Woman in Good Spirits) is an etching created by Dutch artist Justus Chevillet in 1759. The print depicts an elderly woman, likely a grandmother, surrounded by two younger people, possibly her grandchildren. The group is enjoying a meal together in a garden setting, highlighted by the presence of a dog, a basket, and verdant trees. The engraving captures a tranquil domestic scene, suggesting a connection between family members, and portrays a sense of contentment and companionship. The work demonstrates Chevillet's talent for capturing subtle emotions and intimate moments, which would have appealed to an audience interested in depictions of everyday life during the 18th century.
