Which Rococo artist painted 'The Toilet of Venus'?

Which Rococo artist painted “The Toilet of Venus”? François Boucher painted it in 1751.

Boucher’s oil painting presents Venus, the Roman goddess of love, seated on a richly decorated canapé while three putti help arrange her hair, ribbon, and pearls. Pink fabric, flowers, doves, perfume objects, and soft colors create the playful, sensual atmosphere associated with French Rococo art.

The painting was commissioned by Madame de Pompadour, the influential patron and official mistress of Louis XV, for the Château de Bellevue. It was intended as a pendant to Boucher’s The Bath of Venus, although the two works were later separated and now belong to different museums. The Toilet of Venus is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

A common mix-up is confusing Boucher with Antoine Watteau or Jean-Honoré Fragonard, both major French Rococo artists. Watteau is especially associated with fête galante scenes, while Fragonard is famous for The Swing. Boucher, by contrast, became particularly renowned for mythological subjects and images of Venus.
