"Le Plaisir de la Chasse" depicts a romantic scene in which a young man and two young women are hiding behind bushes, beside the statue of two putti. They are waiting for small birds to gather in the trap they set.
"Le Plaisir de la Peche" depicts a young man and two women gathered next to a pond with a country house in the background. The man is teaching one of the woman to fish. A barefoot woman to the fisherman's left caries grapes and a basket of grain.
