Post lot text FRANÇOIS BOUCHER, TWO PUTTI, RED AND WHITE CHALKThe theme of putti is a recurrent one for François Boucher, especially amongst his collections of etchings of Groupes d'enfants. These two nude putti, depicted warming themselves around a fire, are part of this collection and related to a lost painting, L'hiver, dated 1744. L'hiver is part of a series of the four seasons and was described in the sale of the Roland collection on April 13, 1780 as 'some children warming themselves in the countryside where the trees are stripped of their leaves' (Ananoff, op. cit., 1976, I, nos 275-278). This composition is known from an engraving by Antoine Jean Duclos (1742-1795) in reverse (P. Jean-Richard, L'Œuvre gravé de François Boucher dans la Collection Edmond de Rothschild, Paris, 1978, no. 907). We thank Françoise Joulie and Alastair Laing for confirming the attribution after visual examination of the work.
