This fanciful fantasy painting by French Painter Edouard Bisson depicts a beautiful semi nude young lady floating among the clouds in a flowing pink and white gown with a floral wreath across her chest and flowers in her auburn colored hair; as she sits on a swing composed of a long vine and flowers, while a baby angel pushes her back and forth from below and two other baby angels watch her from behind just off of her left shoulder.
