About this artwork
Van Blarenberghe’s image portrays the idyllic environs of the Petit Trianon, a small château built for King Louis XV on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. In the foreground, a woman in fashionable dress feeds chickens, while a man in a rowboat enjoys the serenity of a nearby lake and a couple takes a peaceful stroll.
