Putta playing in the grain field (L'amour moissonneur) is a 1746 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, depicting Putti, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a group of putti, or cherubs, playing in a grain field. The putti are shown in various poses, some sitting, others standing or lying down, all surrounded by sheaves of grain and flowers. The scene is set against a soft, hazy background, with the putti rendered in warm, golden tones. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The putti's playful antics and joyful expressions add a sense of movement and energy to the painting. For more on the artist behind this charming scene, look up François Boucher.
François Boucher was a French painter, draughtsman and etcher, who worked in the Rococo style.
