Couple près d’une fontaine

Hubert Robert, fin du XVIIIe siècle

This is a painting of a garden with a fountain. The painting shows a bronze lion statue in the center, with two individuals interacting around it. The background features a clear sky with scattered clouds and a building with arches. One figure is climbing over the lion statue and holding a water stream that arcs towards the other figure, who is reclining on the ground and gesturing towards the stream. The garden is lush with greenery and flowers, including rose bushes in the foreground. The painting is in the style of Fragonard, with soft brushstrokes and a focus on leisurely pleasure.
