The Fountain of Love, 1748. Additional Info: A young man with a flute gazes languidly at his companion, a rosy-cheeked, barefoot woman dressed in red silk who returns his gaze longingly. Another youth offers a shell full of fresh water to a dainty maiden in a diaphanous gown of purple-gold and red satin. These amorous couples, accompanied by young children frolicking with goats, appear in an idyllic setting of lush, green, leafy trees under a pale blue sky with gray-pink clouds.
