Pleasures of the countryside on a clear morning
Pleasures of the countryside on a clear morning
1785
A "didactic print" illustrating three stages of a flirtation amidst the greenery of the countryside.
The scene is framed by stage-like scenery and music, resembling a theatrical performance.
On the left, ruin-like architecture provides a shady spot; in the center, two couples face each other, engaged in different stages of conversation; and on the right, a musician sits playing a lute, accompanying the scene.
