"young Girl With A Bouquet" 18th Century

Oil on canvas depicting a young girl holding a bouquet of flowers.
She wears no jewelry, but the quality of her dress indicates her high social standing. The painter showcased his talent through the finely rendered drapery and lace. The girl's purity is represented by her white dress and her porcelain complexion. She holds a bouquet of roses, a symbol of love. Daffodils are among the first flowers to bloom in spring, so this young girl represents renewal. The flowers symbolize the splendor of the ephemeral, the beauty of youth.
This painting dates from the late Baroque period; we find the large drape in the background, characteristic of Baroque art and reminiscent of theater curtains. In contrast, her soft porcelain complexion and rosy cheeks foreshadow the beginning of the Rococo style.
Large giltwood frame.
France. Circa 1730.
