Le printemps

Joseph de Longueil after Charles Eisen

National Gallery of Art

In the image, there are four adults and one child. The adults are shown mostly in full length, with two women on the left and right holding baskets of flowers, and a man in the middle with a smaller basket. The child is to the left, slightly behind one woman. The woman on the left has her hair tied back and is bending slightly, carrying a basket on her back. The woman on the right is standing, wearing a hat, and near a donkey loaded with baskets. The man in the center is leaning slightly towards the woman next to him. The woman next to him has styled hair and wears a long, flowing dress with ruffles. The group's attire is period-appropriate, with intricate detailing and layers. A small dog is near the donkey on the right. In the background are architectural elements such as a grand building with multiple stories and a landscape scene visible through an open doorway.
