EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from the 18th century, titled "Un enfant assis sur une motte de terre" or "An enfant seated on a clod of earth". The image is based on the original artwork by François Boucher, known for his exquisite Rococo style. This particular piece is part of a suite of engravings created by Madame de Pompadour after Guay's stone engravings. In this evocative portrayal, we see an agricultural worker, possibly a farmhand or laborer, sitting on a mound of earth. The child exudes innocence and simplicity as they rest in their rural surroundings. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of peasants during that era and reminds us of the importance of our connection to nature and our agrarian roots. Madame de Pompadour was not only renowned for her position as Marquise but also for her artistic endeavors. Through these prints, she aimed to preserve French heritage art and promote its appreciation among the masses. Displayed at The Metropolit Museum in France, this etching invites viewers to reflect upon childhood innocence amidst rustic landscapes. It serves as both an homage to François Boucher's talent and Madame de Pompadour's dedication to preserving cultural treasures through her own artistic contributions.
