This is a 1895 etching by Aristide Maillol titled *Tapisserie*. The print depicts four figures, three women and a man, who are casually dressed and sitting on a patterned rug. They are in a garden setting. Maillol is known for his sculptures, but he also produced etchings, like this one. It exemplifies his artistic exploration, and his use of simple forms to convey beauty. The piece currently resides at the Art Institute of Chicago.
