Jean-Antoine Watteau composed this Cupid being disarmed, a playful mythological subject. The French Rococo master was known for fêtes galantes: scenes of elegant figures in parkland settings.
Watteau's delicate brushwork and dreamy atmosphere defined early 18th-century French taste. This painting is at the Musée Condé in Chantilly.
