1853
unspecified
From the collection of National Gallery of Ireland
Claude Lorrain Sketching is a 1853 unspecified by Daniel Maclise, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting shows a man and a woman sitting on the ground under a tree. The woman is leaning on the man's shoulder, looking down at a large book he's holding. The man is looking up, away from the book. He's wearing a brown jacket and the woman is wearing a red dress. They're sitting on a grassy area with flowers and trees around them. The scene looks peaceful, with the couple enjoying each other's company in a beautiful outdoor setting. The man seems to be sketching or drawing in the book, possibly inspired by the natural beauty around him.
