| Description |  |
This painting dates when he was living in Paris near his contemporary, François Boucher. In 1751 Natoire moved to Rome as director of the French Academy, while Boucher remained in Paris to become the darling of the French court. The gentle figures are typical of Natoire's work and of an eighteenth-century inclination toward intimate interpretations of religious themes.
