From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Scapino and a Lady is a 1742 oil by Andien de Clermont, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a man and a woman in a lush outdoor setting. The man, dressed in a red hat and yellow shirt, is handing a flower to the woman, who sits on a decorative bench. She wears a long red dress and has her hair pulled back. The scene is framed by palm trees and red floral garlands, adding to the natural beauty of the setting. The woman's dress and the man's clothing suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The use of oil paint and the attention to detail in the floral elements suggest a focus on realism and texture. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Andien de Clermont.
Andien de Clermont (died 1783) was a French artist who worked in England in the 18th century (c.1716–1756).
