La mariee de vilage

Charles-Nicolas Cochin I

1688

The image shows a group of figures gathered in an outdoor setting. A woman in a gown stands at the center, surrounded by other seated or reclining figures. The clothing and hairstyles suggest a historical period. Some figures are reclining on the ground, while others are seated or standing. The scene includes an ornate urn, a reclining statue, and lush trees and foliage. The sky above is partially cloudy.

Fetes venitiennes

Laurent Cars

1732

The image shows a wooded area with four elegantly dressed individuals gathered on a blanket. The viewpoint is at ground level, with dense foliage obscuring the horizon. The trees are finely detailed, with a monochromatic color palette of gray shades. In the distance, more trees form a natural alcove, and a light source illuminates the scene. The composition conveys a sense of peaceful leisure under the canopy of leaves.

La colation

Jean Moyreau

1729
