Note du spécialiste

This painting is after Watteau's prime at the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth (inv. no. AP 1981.05). Its title originates from a poem that accompanied an engraving of Watteau's painting by Nicolas Tardieu, published after Watteau's death, which reads: 'Heureux âge! Age d'or, où sans inquiétude. / Le coeur sait se livrer à d'innocents plaisirs' ('Happy Age! Golden Age, where without worry. / The heart knows how to surrender to innocent pleasures.')
