FRANÇOIS BOUCHER, HEAD OF A CHILD IN PROFILE, RED AND WHITE CHALK, ON LIGHT BROWN PAPER

François Boucher made numerous studies of highly finished female heads, often intended for sale, though the present head of a young boy preserved in its original mount was more likely done from life, the hair nonchalantly sketched. The drawing, delicately heightened with white chalk, was engraved by Georg Friedrich Schmidt (1712-1775) in 1759 (fig. 1; see P. Jean-Richard, L'Œuvre de François Boucher dans la Collection Edmond de Rothschild, Paris, 1978, no. 1583, ill.). We are grateful to Françoise Joulie and Alastair Laing for supporting the attribution on the basis of a digital photograph.
Fig. 1 Georg Friedrich Schmidt, after François Boucher, A child’s head. British Museum, London.
