About the piece

Painted by Jean-Honoré Fragonard in the early 1770s, this oil on canvas captures the playful energy of the Rococo era. A young woman in a luminous, voluminous white dress is depicted in mid-flight across a lush meadow, her expression a mix of mischief and delight under a vast, cloud-filled sky. The work exemplifies Fragonard's mastery of light, movement, and delicate brushwork.
