Vesper (Evening)

Charles Le Brun

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated figure holding a child next to large urns. The figure is sitting on a structure by a tree, holding a small child with goat-like features. Two large vases are present in the foreground. The figure is holding a musical instrument, possibly a horn. The background features a landscape with clouds and distant hills. The use of line work reflects a classical theme.
