Le Départ du Courrier

Jacques-Firmin Beauvarlet after François Boucher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated person playing a flute, leaning against a rock. The person is dressed in period clothing and has curly hair peeking out from under a hat. They are surrounded by a basket, a dog, and grazing sheep. The circular border is adorned with ivy, and the background is a dense forest with trees, bushes, and a sky visible through the branches.
