Der Mann, der dem Glück nachläuft, und der Mann, der es im Bett erwartet

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, veröffentlicht 1756

The image depicts two figures in a scene. One figure is a man with mid-length, wavy light brown hair, wearing a red coat and green knee-length trousers. He carries a walking stick in his right hand and raises a hat with his left hand. A knapsack is slung over his back. The second figure is a partially clothed woman with long, flowing blonde hair, sitting on a stone ledge next to a large wheel. She is partially wrapped in a yellow cloth, and her left arm rests on the wheel. In the background, an older figure is visible through a nearby window. The setting appears to be the exterior of a stone building with textured walls, a shuttered window, and an arched doorway.
