Watteau, the great poet of the \u003ci\u003efête galante\u003c\/i\u003e, uses the theatrical costume and unreciprocated serenade to conjure a mood of tender, unresolved melancholy rather than comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatteau was dying of tuberculosis when he painted this late work, and its wistful, private sadness has often been read — however speculatively — as a kind of self-portrait through the mask of performance. Few paintings of the French Rococo carry this much emotional weight beneath such a lighthearted surface subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeld in the collection of \u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e, this masterwork is presented here as a \u003cb\u003epremium stretched canvas reproduction\u003c\/b\u003e, printed on museum-quality matte canvas and hand-wrapped around a solid 0.75-inch gallery wrap frame — ready to hang and built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:24px;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntoine Watteau\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 1718–20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 3\/4 x 17 in.
