Philemon, portrayed here with a thoughtful expression, is a character from this classic play. The image, which features Philemon in a rustic setting with Pierrot, Ruff, and other rural characters, reflects the pastoral themes that were popular during this period. "Les Vendanges de Suresne," or "The Wines of Suresne," is a comedic play that tells the story of a young man named Philemon who falls in love with a shepherdess named Sylla. The play is set in the countryside and explores themes of love, deception, and the joys of rural life.

The costumes, the expressions on the characters' faces, and the rustic setting all come together to create a sense of authenticity and transport the viewer back in time. The print also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of theatre to entertain, inspire, and captivate audiences, even centuries after its creation. In summary, this print of Philemon from "Les Vendanges de Suresne" is a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the world of French theatre during the 17th century. It is a testament to the enduring power of theatre to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the timeless themes and emotions that continue to resonate with audiences today.
