"Femme de Boulogne" is an etching by Simon Francis Ravenet, the elder, depicting a woman from Boulogne, France. The print, part of a series of engravings showcasing foreign figures, is a delicate rendering of the woman, clad in a long, flowing gown and a voluminous shawl, standing in a natural setting. This artwork, created in the 18th century, showcases Ravenet's skill in capturing the essence of his subject, offering a glimpse into the fashion and attire of the period. "Femme de Boulogne" is a valuable example of early 18th-century etching and a charming representation of French societal life.
