Le Serment

Charles-Clement Bervic after Louis Rolland Trinquesse

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four people: two standing and two seated on the ground. One standing man is supporting a woman who is slightly leaning back with her arm raised. The woman has elaborate hairstyles, and both characters are dressed in ornate, historical clothing. The other seated man and woman seem to be engaged in conversation. The setting features dense foliage, trees, and ruins in the background, including a statue with a female figure and a cupid-like child.
