About this work
This painting, titled Mercury and Argus by Jean Lemaire and dated 1625, shows a seated youth playing a pipe beside a white cow, with a sleeping figure and grazing goats in the foreground. A classical building with a Corinthian column and relief medallions rises on the right, while a wide landscape with trees and distant hills opens to the left under a cloudy sky.
