Le Goûter

Louis-Marin Bonnet after Pierre-Antoine Baudouin

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a group of people in an outdoor space filled with green and blue foliage and a decorative column leading to a curved wall. In the center, a woman in a blue gown with a lacy white neckline and a decorative hat is seated on a bench. Next to her, a child in a pink dress points one arm to the left, her back to us. A man in a red coat is seated on the right across a round blue table. These three people have pale skin, and the adults have gray hair while the child has light brown hair. Behind them, another person in a robe and turban holds a tray with small cups. This person has darker skin and is bending down towards the woman. On the left, two people on a staircase can be seen from the chest up, embracing. Baskets of flowers are in the bottom left corner, and a doll in a pink dress lays by more flowers in the bottom right.
