Aubusson tapestry of the eighteenth century.

At the heart of a countryside, near a charming village on the water, a man helped by two women is trying to catch birds. Children play happily around them.

Their modest but charming isolated house in the beautiful vegetation evokes a poetic scene.

The eighteenth century appreciated this lightweight and rural subject.
