Abstract:
Horace Walpole's watercolor after Antoine Watteau's Fête Champêtre depicts two amorous couples being serenaded by a musician. Another young man lounges on a blanket, his back to the viewer, as he gazes at the one dancing couple. Another figure of a man peeps out from behind a tree. They sit in a grove of trees, a small pool at the edge, as sheep graze in the distance; the towers from a town can be seen on the horizon
