Winged Putti with Flowers
ca. 1750
François Boucher was the ultimate party planner of the Rococo era, and these two chubby cherubs are his VIP guests. Created around 1750, this sketch shows winged putti—little angelic figures—tumbling around with flowers, likely a study for a larger, more elaborate painting or tapestry. Boucher was famous for his soft, playful style that perfectly captured the frivolous and romantic spirit of 18th-century France, often commissioned by the king's favorite mistress, Madame de Pompadour. It's like a snapshot of heavenly toddlers having a messy playdate.
