"A River and a Fountain Nymph" is an oil painting by Charles-Joseph Natoire, a French artist known for his Rococo style. The painting depicts a scene with a river god, a fountain nymph, and a child. The river god, likely representing the river god of the Tiber, is depicted pouring water from a jar into a stream, while the fountain nymph sits beside him, gazing at the viewer. The composition is characteristic of Rococo art, with its emphasis on soft curves, elegant figures, and a light and airy atmosphere. Natoire’s painting was likely created in the mid-18th century during the peak of the Rococo era in France, reflecting the stylistic tendencies of the time.
