1770
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Florizel and Autolycus changing garments is a 1770 watercolor by Henry William Bunbury, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four people in an outdoor scene near a wooden fence and trees. A woman in a white dress with a flower garland adjusts her hat, while a man in a red vest and white pants leans on a stick. Another woman stands nearby in a light brown dress, and a boy crouches on the ground. The colors are soft, with muted greens and browns in the background. The woman’s flower garland and the man’s relaxed pose give the scene a playful, everyday feel. The artist used light watercolors to keep the look soft and natural. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
