Figures in a Landscape is a 1735 ink by François Boucher, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows four people in a garden. One woman stands with her hands folded, wearing a long coat and a hat. Another woman sits on a chair, holding a baby. Behind them, a man and a child stand near a table with a pitcher. The ground has some plants and a small tree. The artist used lines to show folds in the clothes. This style was common in the 1700s. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
François Boucher was a French painter, draughtsman and etcher, who worked in the Rococo style.
