About this work
An oval painting set within a carved gilded rococo frame shows a seated woman in blue drapery writing in a large open book while cherubs attend her. A bearded older figure kneels at the right beside a medallion portrait held by a putto. The work is François Boucher's Clio ou l'Histoire, dated 1742, and it appears as a panel within a green painted boiserie.
