About the Item

An elegant 18th-century oil on canvas, attributable to the circle of François Boucher, depicting Venus, goddess of love and beauty, accompanied by Cupid (Amore). Seated on clouds, crowned with flowers, she holds a mirror, a symbol of coquetry and divine beauty. Cupid, at her side, offers her a floral garland. A laurel wreath rests in the foreground, accentuating the allegorical nature of the scene. The composition, pastel tones, delicate modeling, and gentle sensuality of the subject are characteristic of the style of Boucher and his studio, emblematic of the French Rococo style. – 18th-century canvas, relined – Original gilded wood frame decorated with pearls Dimensions: – With frame: 96 x 72 cm – Without frame: 86 x 62 cm Very good condition. A finely executed work with a graceful and decorative charm.
