Born of the artist's imagination and deriving conflict-free unity from this, the scene nonetheless consists entirely of details, including the girl calmly doing the laundry, the thoughtful boy next to her, and the doves fluttering above the roof of the cottage. ## Related artworks - [A Summer Pastoral]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Allegory of Music]() - [Allegory of Music]() - [Allegory of Painting]() - [Allegory of Poetry]() - [An Autumn Pastoral \(detail\)]() - [An Autumn Pastoral]() - [Apollo Revealing his Divinity before the Shepherdess Isse]() - [Are They Thinking About the Grape?]() - [Blond Odalisque \(L'Odalisque Blonde\)]() - [Brown Odalisque \(L'Odalisque Brune\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
