This charcoal drawing by François Boucher, a leading artist of the Rococo period, depicts the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. The drawing showcases Boucher's signature style, with flowing lines and delicate details. Pygmalion, the sculptor, kneels in awe as Galatea, the woman he sculpted, comes to life. The drawing captures a moment of wonder and transformation, reflecting the Rococo era's emphasis on grace, beauty, and love. The use of charcoal creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, revealing Boucher's masterful draftsmanship.
