## Commentary

Lauri&#39;s speciality was the ideal landscape with mythological subjects into which he introduced stylistic elements from Francesco Albani, Pier Francesco Mola and Gaspard Dughet. He painted small-scale Arcadian idylls executed with open brushwork in a light colour scheme. The present painting, belonging to a series of six copper panels, is a characteristic example.
