Le coup de vent (The Gust of Wind)

Abraham Girardet after Antoine Lebel

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two people in full body - a woman and a man. The woman is on tiptoe and leaning slightly forward, with her skirt billowing. She has delicate facial features and styled hair in an updo. The man stands close to her, leaning towards her with a protective posture. He has curly hair and wears a suit with knee-high boots, holding a staff or stick. A small child is seated to their right, partially obscured by the man. A dog is to the left of the couple. The setting is a lush natural environment with overhanging tree branches and a rocky backdrop.
