L'amour oiseleur (Cupid as a Bird-Catcher) is a 1746 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, depicting Putti, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting features a group of putti, or cherubs, in a lush outdoor setting. The putti are engaged in various activities, with one holding a birdcage and another attempting to catch a bird with a string. The scene is rendered in warm, golden tones, with the putti's skin and the surrounding foliage depicted in soft, gentle hues. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The putti's playful antics add a sense of whimsy and joy to the painting, making it a charming and delightful work.
