Nicolas Lancret - Earth

This painting is part of a series of paintings of the Four Elements, a popular subject in the 17th century and often took the form of depictions of figures engaged in tasks appropriate to each element. The present series of paintings was commissioned by the Marquis Béringhen from Lancret to decorate a room in his Paris hotel on rue Saint-Nicaise. An inventory of the Marquis's death shows that the series was hung in a room overlooking the garden. (Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid - Oil on canvas, 38 x 31 cm)
