Sheet of Sketches 1735

"Sheet of Sketches" (1735) by François Boucher, features multiple sketches of figures, showcasing the artist’s skill at capturing the human form in movement. It demonstrates his interest in depicting everyday life, with a particular emphasis on the rural working class, depicted here in casual poses. This drawing exemplifies Boucher's talent for naturalism and expressive line work. The detailed rendering of the figures’ clothes and the suggestion of their surroundings further enriches the scene.
