L'homme et la puce (The Man with Fleas)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, published 1756

The image depicts a person seated on a bed, with their upper body visible. The person has light brown, short hair and sits with their torso turned slightly to the left, left arm reaching over their shoulder. The person's expression is focused. They are covered with a golden-yellow sheet, leaving their back and shoulders exposed. The bed is wooden, with a simple structure, partly covered by the sheet. A pink curtain hangs on a rod, partially drawn aside. A small vessel is on the floor to the left of the bed. The background shows plain, muted beige walls and a floor of similar color.
