English: In Antoine Watteau’s painting The Love Lesson, a group of young people are sitting by a marble statue of a huddled nymph in a parkland setting. They are being entertained by a man with a Spanish guitar. One of the girls is breaking off roses and appears to strew petals over the group. The girl in the yellow dress has a notebook on her knee. The Love Lesson is an example of a fête galante, a genre painting depicting a park landscape of sultry light and leafy greenery with people socialising together, a typical theme for the artist. X-ray images show that Watteau painted The Love Lesson on a coach door bearing a coat of arms with two unicorns and the crown of a marquis. Nationalmuseum acquired the work in 1953 by means of fundraising, donations from the Friends of Nationalmuseum and money from the museum’s funds. I Antoine Watteaus målning Kärlekslektionen sitter en grupp unga människor intill en staty —en uppkrupen nymf i marmor— i ett parklandskap. De låter sig underhållas av mannen med den spanska gitarren. En av flickorna bryter en ros och liksom strör den över sällskapet. Flickan i den gula klänningen har ett nothäfte i knäet. Kärlekslektionen är en så kallad fête galante, en genremålning föreställande ett parklandskap med dovt ljus och lummig grönska med människor som umgås – ett motiv typisk för konstnären. Röntgenbilder visar att Watteau målat Kärlekslektionen på en karossdörr, med en vapensköld, två enhörningar och krönt av en markiskrona. Nationalmuseum köpte målningen 1953 dels genom en insamling, dels genom bidrag från Nationalmuseums vänner och med medel från museets fonder.
