Artist, French, active 1752/1761

The image shows a detailed view of the Versailles stables. The architectural structures of the stables are prominently featured in the distance, with rows of trees lining the pathways leading towards them. The style is that of an engraving with precise line work defining architectural details and figures. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of sepia. Closest to us, figures of elegantly dressed individuals and horse-drawn carriages are present, while smaller figures and serene gardens can be seen extending towards the horizon. The sky features softly detailed clouds, adding depth to the scene.
