About the piece
Painted around 1718 by the French master Jean-Antoine Watteau, this portrait depicts Antoine de la Roque, a soldier and writer, reclining in a lush, atmospheric landscape. The composition blends formal portraiture with the whimsical elements of a 'fête galante', as mythological figures emerge from the shadows of the enchanted wood.
