Etched around 1637 in both a small- and a large-plate version — now held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Louvre — this print shows rustic figures dancing to music beneath a stand of trees while their herds graze nearby. It belongs to Claude Lorrain's genre pastorals, the lighter, sociable counterpart to his grander mythological and biblical landscapes, capturing everyday leisure in an idealized Roman countryside. That Claude reworked the subject across two separate plates and several states suggests how popular the composition was with collectors of his day.

Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
