FRANÇOIS BOUCHER, HEAD OF A WOMAN, BLACK CHALK, TRACES OF WATERMARK

According to Alastair Laing, this delicate head study in black chalk dates from the 1750s or 1760s and was used to prepare one of the numerous figures in Boucher’s landscapes and other pastoral scenes, such as a shepherdess or a peasant woman. In the painting The bird call, dated around 1765 and kept at the Musée du Louvre, the head in profile of the young woman seated in the foreground is very similar to the present drawing (inv. 2727; see A. Ananoff, François Boucher, Lausanne and Paris, 1976, II, no. 607, ill.).
We are grateful to Alastair Laing for confirming the attribution on the basis of a digital photograph.
