About the piece
Painted in 1764 by Charles-Amédée-Philippe van Loo, this work captures a delicate moment of play with refined rococo elegance. Using a trompe-l'oeil stone window effect, the artist creates a sense of depth, highlighting the luminous textures of the children's clothing and the fragile translucence of the bubble.
