Two Cousins 1716

"Two Cousins" is a painting by French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, created in 1716. The painting depicts three figures in a landscape setting. The figures are likely members of the French aristocracy, with the woman on the left, the subject's cousin, wearing an elegant gown and the woman on the right seated, perhaps a young woman of the court. Watteau's signature loose brushstrokes and soft, pastel colors create a sense of intimacy and elegance, characteristic of the Rococo style.
