Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this artwork transports viewers to the idyllic countryside of 18th-century France. In this allegorical scene, Boucher skillfully depicts a playful and romantic courtship ritual of the time. The painting showcases two lovers engaged in a flirtatious game as they try to capture small caged birds. During this era, gifting such birds symbolized capturing someone's heart.
