Further details

FRANÇOIS BOUCHER, HEAD OF A WOMAN, HALF-LENGTH, BLACK AND WHITE CHALK, STUMPING, ON BROWN PAPER

This sheet is a study for the Allegory of Painting, a painting produced by Boucher as a pendant to the Allegory of Music in the National Gallery of Art in Washington (inv. 1946.71; see A. Ananoff, François Boucher, Lausanne, II, Paris, 1976, nos. 580-581). The painting was executed towards the end of the artist’s life, in 1765, when he was appointed Premier peintre du Roi and elected director of the Académie (Philip Conisbee, French Paintings of the Fifteenth through the Eighteenth Century, Washington, 2009, pp. 25-32).
We would like to thank Alastair Laing and François Joulie for confirming the attribution to Boucher on the basis of a photograph of the work.
