Mercurius en Argus is a 1772 oil by François-Guillaume Ménageot, a Rococo painting work, held at Groeningemuseum.
This painting depicts a scene with two men and a cow. The man on the left is dressed in a blue tank top and red shorts, sitting on the ground with his legs bent. He has a white cloth draped over his lap. The man on the right is nude, wearing a hat and a yellow cloth draped over his shoulder. He holds a gold object in his right hand. The background features trees, a cloudy sky, and a body of water. The overall atmosphere appears to be one of relaxation, with the men seemingly engaged in a casual activity.
