This portrait, possibly of Marie-Catherine Colombe, is a characteristic work by French Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The painting depicts a young woman in a white dress with a pink shawl, identified as Venus by the apple she holds, a reference to the myth of the golden apple awarded to the goddess of beauty. Her delicate features and playful pose reflect the idealized feminine beauty popular during this period, epitomizing the playful charm and elegance of the Rococo style.
