Joconde: Le pardon

Philippe Triere after Jean-Baptiste Mallet

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a historical interior scene with elaborate architectural details and period costumes. The image depicts an ornate room featuring a high ceiling with decorative arches and a large window with an intricate diamond-pane design. A person is kneeling beside a table that is covered with papers and a writing quill. Adjacent to this figure, two elaborately dressed figures stand, adorned in period-style costumes, with one of them holding a plumed hat. Behind them, a richly adorned chair is visible and draped with cloth.
