The Comic Rendevous n.d.

"The Comic Rendezvous" is an 18th-century hand-colored etching by French artist Jean François Janinet, known for his playful and elegant depictions of social life. This scene captures a lively encounter in a garden setting, where a group of fashionable individuals engage in playful banter. The use of delicate lines and soft tones creates a sense of intimacy and lightheartedness, characteristic of Janinet's style, known as "l'art de la vignette." This print, likely part of a series, offers a glimpse into the social interactions and humorous exchanges that entertained the elite during the Rococo period.
