La Né d'une Modiste, 1828 : Chap. X: Hélas. c. 1828

"La Né d'une Modiste, 1828: Chap. X: Hélas." is a hand-colored etching by Gottfried Engelmann created around 1828. The image depicts a romantic scene of a young couple seated on a rocky outcrop in a pastoral setting. The woman, dressed in a fashionable blue gown, appears to be crying while the man comforts her. This print, part of a series illustrating a novel, captures the sentimentality and romanticism of the early 19th century. The etching's delicate lines and hand-coloring create a charming and evocative depiction of love and longing. The print is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
