The Assumption of the Virgin is a 1746 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, depicting Putti, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows the Virgin Mary being lifted up to heaven by a group of putti, or cherubs. The Virgin is wearing a pink dress and a blue cloak, and she has a serene expression on her face. She is surrounded by the putti, who are depicted in various poses, some of them playing musical instruments. The scene is set against a cloudy sky with a few birds flying in the distance. The overall mood of the painting is one of peace and tranquility, with the Virgin Mary being the central figure. The use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes adds to the serene atmosphere of the painting.
