Artist, French, 1686 - 1755

This is a drawing of a scene with a prone figure and a cart in a rural setting. The scene shows two figures interacting with the figure on the ground. The standing figures are dressed in attire reminiscent of an earlier period with hats and capes. In the background, there are trees and a lightly sketched landscape with a cart drawn by a horse. The drawing uses a monochromatic palette with shading to create a dramatic atmosphere.
