Französische Grafik 1800–1812, c. 1805

The artwork titled "Les Invisibles en tête-à -tête (Tête-à -Tête with Poke Bonnets)" is an illustration depicting two pairs of people in conversation. On the left, a seated woman is shown in profile, wearing a long white dress with puffed sleeves, yellow gloves, and a colorful shawl. Her bonnet is large and obscures her face as she holds a pink fan. Opposite her, a man leans forward, wearing a gray coat, tan pants, and black boots. His bonnet is similarly large, hiding his face. On the right, another couple is engaged in conversation. The woman, dressed in a pink gown with puffed sleeves, wears a similarly oversized bonnet. The man facing her wears a brown coat, light blue pants, and black shoes, with his bonnet also covering his face. The background shows a barren landscape with another pair of figures in the distance, also wearing large bonnets.
