About the piece

Painted in 1757 by Marcello Bacciarelli, this Rococo masterpiece depicts Apolonia Poniatowska and her son Stanisław as the deities Flora and Amor. The work is defined by its light, airy palette, delicate lace details, and the abundant flower garlands that symbolize spring and love, characteristic of the refined European portraiture of the mid-18th century.
