| Description |  |
According to La Fontaine's tale, the master seduces a serving girl and is observed by a neighbor, who is shown here at her window at the upper right. He therefore invites his wife into the garden to engage in dalliance. Later, when the neighbor reports on his behavior, his wife observes that it is she whom her friend observed in the garden.
