Le villageois entreprenant is a 1762 ink by Charles Emmanuel Patas, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two people in a wooded area. One is kneeling, holding a basket of fruit, while the other leans back, resting a hand on their shoulder. The trees around them are thick, with tangled branches and rocks scattered on the ground. A small ledge with a vase sits near the edge of the scene. The woman’s gesture looks like she’s offering the fruit, but the man seems distracted. The artist used shading to make the scene feel textured and alive, even though it’s just lines.
