Le Galand Jardinier (The Gallant Gardener) is a 1743 ink by Jacques de Favanne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two people in a garden. The woman stands near a tree, dressed in a loose white dress with a hat. The man sits on a rock, wearing a short coat and stockings, holding a walking stick. The garden is full of bushes, flowers, and a large tree with branches reaching across the scene. The print is signed by Favanne, who copied a painting by Watteau. The title, *Le Galand Jardinier*, hints at a playful or clever story behind the scene. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Favanne made detailed prints.
