This print, created as a pair, depict women making music and gardening. The sensitive gradations of light and dark—created using the aquatint technique—replicate the appearance of ink or watercolor drawings and paintings. Much like Jean-Baptiste Greuze’s portrait nearby of a woman playing a guitar, these prints evoke sensations of both sound and touch. However, rather than functioning as formal portraits, the prints serve as decorative and romanticized images of women performing leisure activities. The clothing and attributes— including their striped skirts and headscarves—associate these women with historic representations of Romani people, but their true ethnicities and identities are unknown.
