Der Gemüsegarten des Hôtel de Valentinois in Passy

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, um 1780

The image shows a formal garden viewed from slightly above ground level. A pathway lined with ornate, fenced plots filled with lush vegetation is visible. Tall trees stretch across the horizon, with a stately building on the left. In the distance, a statue serves as a central focal point along the pathway. The artwork features fine and precise brushstrokes depicting the architecture, flora, and figures. The color palette includes earthy browns and greens for the vegetation, creamy tones for the building, and soft blue and white hues for the sky, dotted with clouds. People in historical clothing are leisurely strolling the pathways.
