O asseio de Vênus

1751
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 631
Madame de Pompadour, a amante do rei Luís XV, era uma grande admiradora de Boucher e foi sua patrona desde 1747 até a sua morte, em 1764. Encomendou esta famosa pintura juntamente com outra para o vestiário de Bellevue, seu castelo perto de Paris. Em 1750, a marquesa estrelou uma peça encenada em Versalhes, intitulada “O asseio de Vênus” e, embora esta pintura não seja um retrato, a alusão lisonjeira talvez tenha sido intencional.
