Charles Nicolas Cochin I's 1738 engraving, "Little Girl with Cherries," depicts a young girl seated in a chair, holding cherries in her lap. The delicate lines and soft shading create a sense of intimacy and charm. The girl's thoughtful expression and simple attire reflect the Rococo style's emphasis on elegance and grace, creating a sentimental portrait of childhood innocence. This print is part of a series showcasing everyday life and was popular in the 18th century.
