The Artist in His Studio
circa 1733
Boucher captures a candid moment of artistic creation here, sketching himself around 1733 with a stylish turban that screams 'bohemian chic' of the 18th century. Rendered in warm red chalk, the drawing feels incredibly intimate, like we've just walked into his studio unannounced to watch him work. You can see his palette and brushes ready to go, capturing the hustle of a Rococo master before he became the ultimate favorite painter of Madame de Pompadour.
