Paris (France), 1725 - Paris (France), 1805
See author's fileThis canvas, a companion piece to the Allegory of Smell, offers an elegant, tender, delicate treatment of a recurring theme in Western art. Both paintings belong to a transition period during which the warm, decorative spirit of late Rococo was giving way to the cold severity of early Neoclassicism.
