        "description": "This chalk drawing originated from the studio of Fran\u00e7ois Boucher. Although it bears Boucher\u2019s signature\u2014seen at lower right\u2014the image was likely executed by a member of the master\u2019s shop, rather than Boucher himself. Despite the anonymity of the draftsman, the image nonetheless reproduces one of Boucher\u2019s designs and was therefore considered a work by the master.",

During his early career he was closely associated with Watteau, many of whose paintings he engraved. Boucher was a successful and incredibly prolific artistic who had a major impact on both fine and decorative art of the 18th century. He is particularly noted for having reinvented the genre of the pastoral, creating images of shepherds and shepherdesses as sentimental lovers that was taken up in a variety of medium. Boucher's sketchy manner of painting helped to promote painterliness as an end in itself. This trend dominated French painting until the emergence of Neoclassicism, when the tides of criticism turned against Boucher and his followers.",
