L'ane et le chien (The Donkey and the Dog)

Michel Aubert after Jean-Baptiste Oudry

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a donkey with baskets, a dog interacting with it, a person resting, a stone bridge over a river, buildings, mountains, and cloudy sky in a serene, pastoral scene. The artwork features detailed brushwork and etching-like textures with muted earth tones and pastel colors.
