‘L’Amour’; said to be a Portrait of Marie Catherine Colombe c. 1751 - 1830

“L’Amour”, said to be a portrait of Marie Catherine Colombe, is an oil painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a prominent Rococo artist. The artwork depicts a young woman with wings, possibly representing Cupid, the Roman god of love. Set against a soft, ethereal backdrop, this work exemplifies the Rococo period's fascination with delicate beauty, sensuality, and light-heartedness. Fragonard's signature style is visible in the loose brushstrokes, pastel hues, and the emphasis on graceful, flowing lines.
