It's Too Late (Il est trop tard)

Antoine-François Sergent

National Gallery of Art

The image features figures in a rustic interior setting. A boy in white shirt and blue shorts climbs a wooden ladder. A girl in white top and striped skirt sits on hay, with an older woman in white headscarf and pink skirt assisting her. In the background, a man in knee-length trousers and a hat enters through an arched opening, carrying a stick. Various rustic objects are scattered around, with the bright sky visible outside.
