The peasants in the foreground are designed after Domenichino; but the figure who leans against a tree, in the shadow on the left, and plays upon a pipe, is like Claude. Claude was so conscious of the want of merit in his pictures, he used to say that he sold his landscapes and gave away the people in them. Collection of Marshal Sebastiani.
