The Danger of the Private Conversation n.d.

"The Danger of the Private Conversation" is an etching by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Blaise Simonet. This print, created sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century, depicts a scene of a private conversation between two figures, likely a man and a woman, in an elaborately decorated interior. Simonet uses a technique of fine lines and hatching to create a sense of depth and intimacy, as well as an atmospheric setting. The artwork is currently held in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
