Some paintings named from the fable have been broad landscapes with small figures added in the middle plane. Salvator Rosa's "Mercury and the Dishonest Woodman" in the National Gallery, London, dates from about 1650. An 18th-century watercolour by George Robertson (1748–88) seems to derive from this. Charles-André van Loo gives greater prominence to the figures in his "Mercure présentant des haches au bûcheron" in the Hôtel de Soubise. In this the god hovers in mid-air and presents the axes to the surprised and kneeling woodman.
