About the piece
Painted in 1758 by Jean-Baptiste Marie Pierre, this pastoral scene exemplifies the charm of the French Rococo style. A young woman, dressed in luminous white and vibrant red, sits in a soft, atmospheric landscape, gently placing a lush garland of roses and blossoms around her favorite lamb. The work showcases the period's interest in idealized rural life and tender, sentimental subjects.
