La jolie fermiere is a 1761 ink by Joseph de Longueil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This scene shows a fancy room with five people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. A woman in a simple dress stands near a basket, while a man in a long coat leans in close to her. Another man holds a dog, and a woman sits on the floor with a cat. The walls have framed pictures, a clock, and a fireplace with a fancy stand. The artist used lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel lively. This style is called Baroque, which often includes dramatic poses and rich details. Look up Baroque to see more art from this bold, expressive movement.
