The Spring (La Source)
Jean Marc Nattier
1738 · Oil on canvas · European Paintings
Reportedly, the canvas was signed and dated 1738 on the reverse. The traditional identification of the sitter as Louise Henriette de Bourbon-Conti is not tenable and the picture, which is rather loosely and fluidly painted, was probably made for the art market.
