Le paysan mecontent

Jean-Baptiste Morret after Antoine Borel

National Gallery of Art

The image shows four figures gathered around a small table with a white tablecloth under a vine-covered trellis in an outdoor setting. One woman is seated, another man is pouring a drink, and a second man is engaging in conversation with the woman. The figures wear 18th-century European attire. A dog is in the foreground, facing the standing man. The background includes a stone wall with a small opening showing greenery, and part of a thatched roof is visible.
