Cartoon for cotton printing: The Country Feast [La Fête Champêtre]
The scenes show children taking part in county entertainments: at the top, a group dance to a piper, while adults partake of refreshments at a table nearby. Below, to the left children and adults view a peep-show; at center a chestnut vendor; and at right youths play a clock-game, attended by a woman near a small mill.
