This etching, a reverse copy of "La Promenade" from the "Les Caprices" series, depicts a man and woman strolling through a landscape. Dated between 1620 and 1700, the piece is attributed to an anonymous artist and is part of the Florence Set. The scene showcases a couple in 17th-century attire, likely enjoying a leisurely walk, with a distant village providing a backdrop. This artwork exemplifies the intricate details and skillful use of line characteristic of etching, a printmaking technique popular during the Renaissance. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this small but significant piece, showcasing a glimpse into the daily life of the era.
