Description
Review from Art Times, November 2003, submitted by Cornelia Seckel publisher of "Art Times":
Francois Boucher at The Frick Collection (Art Review)
By Raymond J. Steiner
The appreciation of draftsmanship is alive and well, thanks in large part to The Frick Collection with its long-standing commitment of rarely letting a year go by without mounting at least one major drawing exhibition.They have brought us some of the finest shows one might find in New York City, and this year they do not disappoint with the current show of drawings gathered in celebration of the Tercentenary of the birth of Francois Boucher.*
Long celebrated as one of 18th Century France's shining artistic lights and rightly so François Boucher (17031770), if we accept his own estimate, left the world a legacy of over ten thousand drawings. If largely known by today's general public as a limner of luscious females, Boucher in fact produced drawings on a variety of subjects over his nearly five-decade career that included landscape, history, myth, literature, allegory, religion, and depictions of the quotidian scenes of everyday life all of which you will find examples of in the present exhibition.
A master draftsman, Boucher followed the typical evolution of an aspiring artist of the 18th century, starting out as an apprentice to Francois Lemoyne before striking out on his own. Shortly thereafter, through the early years of the 1720s, he moved on to learning the art of etching, during which time he produced etchings of over 100 of Antoine Watteau's drawings. It would not be long after winning the Academy's annual Prix de Rome that Boucher would find his own niche in the competitive world of the French art world. This Pastel is a portrait of Madame de Pompadour. It is nicely framed in the original frame which measures 20" x 26.25" in height. Additional photos are available upon request. It has been recently appraised and all documentation will be forwarded to the buyer.
