97. Putti as representations of the Arts has always brought a certain charm to this classical subject matter. Boucher's images are amongst the finest. Here the oil-on-canvas image of "Painting" carries a primitive appeal. The painting is owned by the Catharine V. Yost Museum in Pontiac, Illinois. The Museum is housed in a Queen Anne style upper middle class home representing family life in the late 1800s & early 1900s. Nearly all of the Yost family possessions remain in the house.			Anon.
