Odoratus, L'Ordorat

Abraham Bosse

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people on a terrace, depicting a historical scene. The central figure stands wearing a decorated dress or coat. Another figure wears period attire with a wide-brimmed hat adorned with feathers, holding a cluster of flowers. Another individual stands nearby. Their facial features are soft and smooth, with neatly arranged hairstyles indicative of historical fashion. The clothing is ornate with patterns and textures fitting the time's style. The terrace has railings, vases, and drapery, adding opulence. A small dog is present, interacting with the people. The background features a garden with trimmed hedges, pathways, and statues under a cloudy sky.
