Note du spécialiste

This coquettish figure is typical of the paintings of villiagers and peasants that Rotari executed while working as court painter for Elizabeth, Empress of Russia. Catherine the Great's cabinet of 'Muses and Graces' at the Peterhof Palace is virtually upholstered with over three hundred of these works.
