"La Clochette" is an engraving by Jean Dambrun, created between 1790 and 1800. This print is a detailed illustration from an illustrated edition of "Contes et nouvelles en vers" by Jean de La Fontaine, a collection of fables. The scene depicts the story of a young woman, "La Clochette," who is being chased by a cow, her dress billowing behind her as she runs through the woods. The engraving, a fine example of the Neoclassical style, showcases Dambrun's skill in capturing both the narrative detail of the story and the beauty of the natural world. The print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
