Rendered in the soft, lyrical style that defined 18th-century French painting, the scene features finely dressed figures preparing to depart for the mythical island of Cythera—the birthplace of Aphrodite. The brushwork is delicate, the colors warm and luminous, and the composition dreamlike, capturing the fleeting nature of romance and pleasure.
