This painting shows a quiet scene at Petit Trianon, a small castle near Versailles. A woman feeds chickens in the front. A man rows on the lake. A couple walks nearby. It’s a tiny slice of royal life in the 1700s. Van Blarenberghe painted this for Louis XV. The colors feel soft and warm, like a summer afternoon. See it in person at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
