Description
Français : Description du livret du Salon de 1812 où l'oeuvre a été présentée pour la première fois : "Une vieille femme assise près d’une fontaine, dit la bonne aventure à une jeune fille qui est venue la consulter. Un jeune homme écoute attentivement les prédictions adressée à sa maîtresse."

Le paysage et l'architecture ont été peints par Antoine-Pierre Mongin, selon une note du même livret.

Au Salon de 1819 (no 847), Mongin présente une répétition de ce tableau ("Répétition d’un ouvrage exposé sous le même titre, et que l’auteur avait fait en société avec Mme Benoît."), avec cette description plus détaillée : "Une jeune fille vient puiser de l’eau à la fontaine des champs, voisine de son habitation ; elle conduit avec elle l’agneau que lui a donné son amant ; à son arrivée, elle voit assise sur une pierre, à côté du monument, une Bohémienne qui l’engage à entendre sa bonne aventure ; elle cède sans y penser. La vieille, dont la perspicacité ne saurait être en défaut, annonce à la jeune fille qu’elle a deviné son amour et son futur hyménée. Celle-ci, étonnée, rougit, baisse les yeux, et n’aperçoit pas, caché derrière la devineresse, son amant, heureux de son embarras et peu surpris du prodigieux savoir de la sorcière."

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
