Étienne Jeaurat (1699-1789)
Le Marchand D'Orviétan or
L'opérateur Barri, undated
This gathering, which might almost have been captured live,
gives a hint of the exchanges and leisure activities of Parisian
society: the relaxed atmosphere, the games, the elegance of the
fashionable dresses, and a pleasure garden with pools and
classical statuary. The family setting also evokes the writings of
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), particularly the first Émile
books, which stressed the importance of experiment, particularly
through games, in children's education.

The interior scene shows three figures, a sick and pale old
man in an armchair and his young wife, who is listening to the
advice of a man dressed in an oriental costume and carrying a box
of remedies. The title of the painting is a direct reference to Jean
de La Fontaine's poem The Sick Abbess. The painting is a double
satire of ordinary life, at once a critique of the age difference
between the spouses and the fashion for remedies vaunted and
sold by quack doctors.
