The Adoration of the Shepherds.

'The Adoration of the Shepherds' by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is a paramount example of a religious painting done in the characteristic Rococo style of the late Ancien Régime. Painted on a canvas with oil, we are privy to an intimate scene wherein the shepherds gather in adoration around the newborn Christ, capturing the joyous moment with exuberance. This acclaimed piece by one of the most prolific artists of his time is noted for its remarkable facility, veiled eroticism, and the atmosphere of intimacy.
