La gageure des trois commeres: Le poirier

after Jean-Baptiste Mallet

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a pastoral scene near a garden. The image depicts a countryside setting with a large tree dominating the mid-ground. Under the tree, a couple is lounging on the ground. More trees and bushes are on the right side, and in the background is a building with a stone wall topped with statues. Garden tools and fruits are also depicted in the scene. The drawing style is intricate and delicate, focusing on light and shade.
