La gageure des trois commeres: Le poirier

after Jean-Baptiste Mallet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals. Two people, a man and a woman, are lying on the grass under a tree, embracing each other. The woman wears a light-colored dress with ruffled sleeves, and the man has short, curly hair. They appear to be kissing. Nearby, there is a basket of fruit, a jug, gardening tools, and a hat on the ground. Above the couple, a man is in a tree, dressed in period clothing and observing them. In the background, there is an estate with a grand building, statues, and a garden.
