Antique oil painting on canvas in the style of Francois Boucher

Antique oil painting on canvas depicting "The Toilette of Venus" with a contemporary gilded and carved wooden frame. Rococo art began in Paris in the early 18th century. Delicate colors and sinuous lines enlivened the painting, making it extremely masterful. The concepts of love, nature, divinity, and youth shaped the complexity of the ornamental arts of this style. The Toilette of Venus depicts the mythological scene of the Goddess of Love. This painting depicts Venus seated on a stage against a natural backdrop, surrounded by cherubs who admire her and play with jewels and ornaments falling over the edge of the stage.
