About this work

Boucher drew this beautiful female nude to use in a painting. That canvas is no longer known. However, there is a frivolous print with this nude under the misleading title ‘Mademoiselle de *** en habit d’Eté’ (Miss Van *** in summer clothes). In it, she is shown reclining on a drapery at the edge of a pool bordered by plants.
