About the piece

Created in 1736 by Pierre Charles Trémolières, this Rococo masterpiece depicts Comedy as a graceful young woman reclining among soft, atmospheric clouds. Holding a traditional theatrical mask and leaning upon large volumes, the figure embodies the wit and lightness of the arts through a delicate palette of pastel blues and warm, pearlescent skin tones.
