Taraval's paintings of the 1770s evoke the sensuality of the French Rococo as much as any other artist. Here a young lady, in a dishevelled state of undress, writhes amongst the sheets apparently begging her recently departed lover back to bed. Taraval's influences were many, amongst them Natoire, Pierre and Charles-André Van Loo, but above all in this work we see that of Jean-Honoré Fragonard.
