label: Description
content: Vignette of figures in a landscape: a woman sits against a tree at the center, holding a basket of flowers; to her left, a man stands, gesticulating, with a dog behind him; to the woman’s right, three figures in rustic costume sit, one holding a staff, and one holding a trumpet. The scene is set within a field of arabesque ornamentation, and includes motifs such as scrolls, birds, garlands, baskets of flowers, reeds, vines, and meanders. Below the figures in the vignette, there is a cartouche with a smaller landscape depicting two figures on a boat in a river. The plate is signed.
