Pleasure

The painting Pleasure, a painting from 1754 by François Boucher, is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The artwork, measuring 0.489 meters in width and 0.619 meters in height, depicts a young man, likely representing the personification of pleasure, adorned with a floral crown and holding a bouquet of colorful flowers. His posture is relaxed, and his gaze suggests a sense of contentment and enjoyment. The soft, pastel palette and the delicate rendering of the flowers contribute to the overall atmosphere of sensual delight and carefree abandon.
