"The Halt during the Chase." Here Watteau shows a group of finely dressed figures in the woods. On the right a woman in yellow is being helped from her horse by a gentleman. Other members of the party have already dismounted and are sitting in the foreground of the picture, a man and a woman with their backs to us are placed in the middle distance, and a man is holding the hands of a seated woman. I picked this painting due to it showing the true deffinition of neo art. The painting shows movement and an easy setting which makes it a perfect example.
