The scene shows the characters gathering around a fountain to eat, their faces expressive, and the landscape behind them is rendered with detailed textures. Nanteuil, born in 1813 and died in 1873, expertly captures the energy and drama of the story, inviting viewers to imagine the characters' conversations and motivations. The artwork, measuring 21.5 x 30.8 cm, is a testament to the power of literature and the lasting influence of great stories.
