Les cerises

Nicolas Ponce after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

The image displays three figures engaged in various activities. One male figure is on a ladder, reaching into a tree, possibly picking fruit or leaves. A second figure, a woman, stands near him gazing upward. A third figure, another woman, sits nearby, looking at the man and placing a hand on a dog beside her. In the background, a horse with a basket and some sheep can be seen. The scene is set outdoors, surrounded by trees, foliage, and hills in the distance. There are no visible jewelry items, but natural and rustic objects like a ladder and baskets are present. The setting is detailed and classical in style.
