Putti Adorning A Swan With A Garland Of Flowers 1760

"Putti Adorning A Swan With A Garland Of Flowers," painted by Charles-Joseph Natoire in 1760, depicts a playful scene with three cherubs (putti) interacting with a swan. One cherub decorates the swan with flowers while the other two watch, symbolizing innocence and joy. Natoire was a French Rococo painter known for his elegant and charming depictions of cherubs and mythological subjects. The painting's delicate brushwork, soft colors, and whimsical subject matter are typical of the Rococo style. This work is a delightful example of Natoire's mastery of the genre, capturing the spirit of the Rococo period.
