In this image a wayward husband pursues a servant girl but, realizing he has been observed by a woman in a window, changes course. Later, he invites his wife to engage in a dalliance in the garden to create an alibi. The story comes from Jean de La Fontaine’s Fables, which enjoyed enormous success in eighteenth-century France as a commentary on contemporary social mores, including gender roles. This painting is one of nine oils on copper that Lancret painted based on La Fontaine, which were engraved during the 1730s and 1740s.
