Jong meisje met een mand 1730 - 1760

"Jong meisje met een mand" is a drawing by François Boucher, a prominent French Rococo painter and draftsman. This etching, created between 1730 and 1760, depicts a young woman with a basket of flowers standing in a rural setting. The delicate lines and graceful figure are characteristic of Boucher's style, and the composition's emphasis on natural beauty reflects the Rococo movement's emphasis on elegance and sentimentality. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Boucher's skill in capturing the charm of everyday life with a distinctly Rococo sensibility.
