Illustration to Jean Desmarets' "L'Ariane"

Abraham Bosse after Claude Vignon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures engaged in a scene. The figures are in an outdoor setting with trees and foliage in the background. Several individuals are gathered in the foreground, some seated and others standing. They appear to be involved in a discussion or debate. The characters are dressed in flowing garments. A large drapery extends from a tree over the group. In the lower section, other figures are reacting with gestures.
