Piqué de ma raillerie, il s'évertue et remporte le prix

Nicolas Delaunay after Jean-Michel Moreau

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group scene in a rural setting. The image shows several figures around a small rustic building with a thatched roof, surrounded by trees. In the scene, a dog is engaging with the figures as they interact or play around the building. The setting includes steps, a low boundary wall, and a tree with detailed foliage. The sky above is partly cloudy, and there is a border with a French caption below the drawing.
