The Dangerous Novel, Etching by Isidore-Stanislas Helman, 1781
An engraved interior shows a richly draped bed with swagged curtains and a young woman reclining on it, while a man in a chair beside the bed leans forward and watches her. A vase with garlands stands in a domed, columned room, and an ornate crest appears at the bottom of the plate.
