Country Scene
XVIII century. Grey-brown wash, Pencil ground, Pencil on laid paper.Not on display
This is a drawing of a landscape with tree trunks and skies. It depicts a woman standing with a child in her arms, a man in an overcoat leaning on a cane and, in the midground, another woman. In the background, under the tree trunk, are several seated or reclining figures; in the centre is a seated dog.
It appears to be a typical example of certain paintings of a festive nature as those mentioned by Orellana.
