Belphegor

Charles Emmanuel Patas and Antoine-Jean Duclos after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several figures in an indoor setting. In the foreground, a man is seated in a wooden chair, holding a baby and gesturing towards a small dog on the floor. Beside him, a woman is seated, raising her arms in a startled manner. A young child looks over the chair. Near the doorway, an older man with a hat carries a stick and a cloth. The background includes pots and jars near a window, with birds perched outside and a landscape visible. Items like cookware and containers add detail to the scene.
