Sheet of Sketches 1735

This delicate drawing, "Sheet of Sketches," from 1735, showcases the masterful hand of French Rococo artist Francois Boucher. The sketch depicts two young figures, likely children, seated in a natural setting. Boucher's signature use of soft, flowing lines creates a sense of ease and intimacy, characteristic of his style. The casual poses and expressive gestures of the figures highlight Boucher's interest in capturing the beauty and charm of everyday life. This work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Boucher's mastery of drawing and his enduring impact on the Rococo aesthetic.
