About the piece
Painted in 1764 by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, this work reflects the artist's fascination with Russian customs and dress following his travels in the region. The composition centers on a suspended cradle, surrounded by attentive family members and resting livestock, all rendered with a soft, luminous palette characteristic of the French Rococo style.
