Le paysan

Charles Louis Lingée after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of figures gathered in an architectural setting. The scene is set in a grand interior with an arched, decorated ceiling and large stone pillars. Within this environment, a group of individuals are depicted interacting in various positions and expressions. A person is kneeling on the floor surrounded by others who stand or lean, all wearing intricate period clothing. A statue of a classical figure is displayed to the side. The drawing uses fine lines and cross-hatching for depth and texture.
