François Boucher's sensual depiction of a girl lying unclothed on a sofa remains entirely in the Rococo period. The painter dispenses with the usual mythological-historical framework for the depiction of erotic nudity - even in the Age of Enlightenment, this was still a risk. But who was the painting intended for? Why is its paint layer particularly fragile? And do we know anything about the sitter? Many questions arise during the re-encounter with the painting, which was examined, conserved and restored using art technology at the Doerner Institut and will return to the halls of the Alte Pinakothek in February.
