Something that stood out when I first saw the painting was the difference between color. The sky is a soft blue and the trees are a lot darker. Also, the two main subjects in the painting, especially the male figure, really stand out because of the colors the artist used for their clothing. Nonetheless, one characteristic that artist commonly used during this time period was the theme of playfulness or love, which is interesting because immediately when I first saw the painting the mood seemed a lot less stressful as opposed to the other two paintings. Secondly, during the Rococo period, a lot of the paintings were asymmetrical in balance, similar to what the artist did in this painting. Additonally, I noticed that the artist used light or pastel colors throughout some parts of the painting. For example, the flowers on the floor of the painting are a light, pastel pink and the woman's clothes are an off white. Although some of the painting, such as the trees, are intense in color, lighter colors were used to create a happier mood. Bright, vibrant colors were also commonly connected to this period, explaining the man’s clothing, which is a bright red color. Finally, the Rococo period consisted of elaborate settings much like this one. The background is heavily decorated with trees and throughout the painting, there are flowers surrounding it. I also noticed that there is minimal to no space since everything is preoccupied with elaborate
