Delices de la Campagne 1818

"Delices de la Campagne," created in 1818 by French artist Baron Dominique Vivant Denon, is a graphite drawing depicting three women in a pastoral setting. The three women are seated and facing different directions. The work is a fine example of Denon’s talent for capturing the beauty of the human form, especially the grace and femininity of the women. The subtle shading and detail in the drawing create a sense of depth and realism. "Delices de la Campagne" is a testament to Denon's artistic prowess as a draftsman and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
